Is it possible to log all sql statements submitted to database server in a
table in that database it self? This will be different from database logs
which are written by db server.

It's possible to cobble together something to appoximate that without too 
much trouble if you're running V8.3.  You can use the CSV log format to 
make the logs show up in a tabular fashion: 
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/runtime-config-logging.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-LOGGING-CSV...

And then you can change log_statement (on that same page) to "all".  The 
main tricky part is that you need to account for log rotation and such 
with whatever approach you take; you're on your own to figure out when the 
server is finished with a log such that you can import it, or to write 
something that imports more often.  It's possible to write something to 
use a "tail -f" type of approach that imports after every line is read, 
but that's harder.

BTW:  I'm dropping the admin list from my reply here because I'm not 
subscribed to that one at the moment.  It's bad form to cross-post to 
multiple lists here.  Pick the one you think you're more likely to get a 
response on first, and only if you don't get anything useful back after a 
wait should you submit your question to a second list.

I am not confident but it should be posible. some settings like debug
would log every thing in a logfile.
Will check more on this and update.
Thanks

It's surely possible.

Just enable this at postgresql.conf:
log_destination = 'stderr'
redirect_stderr = on

And then choose what to log:
log_statement = 'all'

Valid values are none, ddl, mod, and all. ddl logs all data definition 
commands like CREATE, ALTER, and DROP commands. mod logs all ddl 
statements, plus INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, TRUNCATE, and COPY FROM. 
PREPARE and EXPLAIN ANALYZE statements are also logged if their 
contained command is of an appropriate type.

And u can modify other variables as you want.
