PostgreSQL attempts to communicate what queries are being
performed by setting the process information in the connected
backend when processing a SQL statement, much like sendmail. You
should be able to determine who's connected and what they're
doing with something like:

ps axf

You'll see who's connected to what database from what machine and
the type of query being executed. I don't know of any tables in
PostgreSQL which would provide similar information.

Hope that helps,
