logging all statements is possible (this is what i do now), but it is
far from optimal - it generates 500 megabytes of logs every 10 minutes.

on the other hand - doing log analysis i did found the problem (and it
was not commit; begin thing) - i was simply hoping for simpler, and less
intrusive way of getting the data.
