Not sure I understand what you mean ... the scenario is yours to
explain. Here is the documentation on configuring PG logging, if
that's what you mean:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/runtime-config-logging.html

log_statement, in particular, is something to read up on.

You didn't mention which version of PG you're using, nor what GUI
and version you're using to access it. I expect you'll get better
answers if you provide that information.

That then depends on whether or not you had DDL logging enabled before
the event occurred. If not, then I'm not sure how to identify when the
event occurred. If it was not enabled, then you may want to look at
whether the GUI you're using logs actions like that, but that will
depend on what GUI you're using.

Since your question isn't a bug, I've redirected the thread to the
pgsql-general@ mailing list.
