Hmm... after looking at the xlogdump and xlogview applications, I can see
the difficulty pulling this information you were talking about.

I see that I can get the OID's for the relations, and then lookup their
names from the source database; but pulling where clause and field info
seems to be a bit tougher.

Is there another place in the code, I can get access to the statements (or
statement "like" information), after a transaction commit?

Thanks for all your help,

Mike
