I use ethereal (on the client--although it would possibly work on the
server too) in such a case. It's a bit messy but if you just want to
see what SQL statements were being run, then it works. I also saw some
where that the new version of ethereal has a dissector for Postgres,
which would presumably show you the communication between the client and
server in a nicely-formatted way.
