To create the log file in Postgresql installed on Ubuntu, you need to modify the postgresql.conf file of Postgresql server. Here are the steps...

  1. Open terminal (ALT+CTL+T) and type the following command - sudo gedit /etc/postgresql/9.5/main/postgresql.conf . If you have different version of Postgresql, change 9.5 to your version number. This command will open the conf file in gedit.
  2. In the postgresql.conf file, search for 'log_statement' and set the value to 'all' (log_statement = 'all'            # none, ddl, mod, all)
  3. Save and close the file.
  4. Restart the Postgresql server (sudo service postgresql restart OR /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.5 restart)
  5. Now the log file will have all the sql commands you type on the terminal. You can find the log file in folder /var/log/postgresql
