Postgresql – How to log PostgreSQL queries

How to enable logging of all SQL executed by PostgreSQL 8.3?

Edited (more info)
I changed these lines :

log_directory = 'pg_log'                    
log_filename = 'postgresql-%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S.log'
log_statement = 'all'

And restart PostgreSQL service… but no log was created…
I'm using Windows Server 2003.

Any ideas?

In your data/postgresql.conf file, change the log_statement setting to 'all'.

Edit

Looking at your new information, I'd say there may be a few other settings to verify:

  • make sure you have turned on the log_destination variable
  • make sure you turn on the logging_collector
  • also make sure that the log_directory directory already exists inside of the data directory, and that the postgres user can write to it.
