I don't have good idea about that. But maybe we can merge pgaudit.log
into log_statement for more flexible settings of what to log.

BTW I found that pgaudit doesn't log bind parameters when prepared
statements are executed. I'm feeling this behavior is not good for audit
purpose. Thought?

Also I got only the following log message when I executed "PREPARE hoge AS
INSERT INTO mytbl VALUES($1)" and "EXECUTE hoge(1)". This means that
obviously we cannot track the statements via PREPARED command...

LOG:  [AUDIT],2014-06-23
21:14:53.667059+09,postgres,postgres,postgres,WRITE,INSERT,TABLE,postgres.mytbl,execute
hoge(1);
