This problem scenario may sounds strange but I am trying to write a trigger to log the query type into another table and so far i havent been able to find anything on google

the database i am using is postgres

i.e.

if i have two tables; table1 and querylog(has a string field called querytype)

and a select query is executed on table1, i want to insert a row into the query log table with the querytype field populated with "select"

anyone have any idea how to reference the query type in a function that will be called by a trigger?
