Is it possible to get a history of queries made in postgres? and is it be possible to get the time it took for each query? I'm currently trying to identify slow queries in the application I'm working on.
I'm using Postgres 8.3.5

You can use like
\s
it will fetch you all command history of the terminal, to export it to file using
\s filename
If The question is the see the history of queries executed in the Command line. Answer is
As per Postgresql 9.3, Try \? in your command line, you will find all possible commands, in that search for history,
\s [FILE] display history or save it to file
in your command line, try \s. This will list the history of queries, you have executed in the current session. you can also save to the file, as shown below.
hms=# \s /tmp/save_queries.sql
Wrote history to file ".//tmp/save_queries.sql".
hms=#
There's no history in the database itself,but if you are using DataGrip data management tool then you can check the history thats your run in the datagrip.

Not logging but if you're troubleshooting slow running queries in realtime, you can query the pg_stat_activity view to see which queries are active, the user/connection they came from, when they started, etc. Eg...
SELECT *
FROM pg_stat_activity
WHERE state = 'active'
See the pg_stat_activity view docs.
