Log user actions in PostgreSQL

The question:

In PostgreSQL 12+ is it possible to have a log with all actions performed by a user/role?

Eg: If that user executes a query, delete, create table, pg_dump, etc, store what he did in a log.

The Solutions:

Below are the methods you can try. The first solution is probably the best. Try others if the first one doesn’t work. Senior developers aren’t just copying/pasting – they read the methods carefully & apply them wisely to each case.

Method 1

You can set parameters per role:

ALTER ROLE user_to_log SET log_min_duration_statements = 0;
