Dunno how you do it via \o; what I do is run the postmaster with the
-d 2 option and then log everything to syslogd. This will log every query
in detail. It's very convenient while you're developing and testing,
especially if you run a separate window with

tail -f /wherever/you/write/your/postgres.log
