I would like to create a audit log of update and
delete queries against a table.  I want the log on the
server side, since access will be done using various
clients via ODBC.  I would like to capture the user,
current datetime and the query statement.  My thought
was to accomplish this by creating a rule that will
insert the information into a log table.

To be server side, you need to use a trigger and a plpgsql function. On this page you will find more informations on trigger related functions:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/view.php?version=7.3&idoc=0&file=plpgsql-trigger.html
Perhaps you can compare OLD and NEW rows to know which rows will be updated.
And you'll find at the end of the page how to get current user (current_user keyword) and current datetime (function now).


How can I captures the query statement so that I can
place it in a insert query?  Is there a variable in
the server that holds the query statement as a string?

I think this shows how to do what you want: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-sql/2003-05/msg00301.php
