Thanks for the guidance. FYI, this is what I observed after enabling auto_explain in my test system and tracking nested statements in pg_stat_statements.
>load 'auto_explain';
LOAD
>set auto_explain.log_min_duration=10000;
SET
>set auto_explain.log_nested_statements=true;
set
>delete from parent_oids where parent_oid=281907;
DELETE 1

If it is possible to log long running internal queries as outlined above any guidance would be appreciated.
Either auto_explain or pg_stat_statements could have helped you
with that, I think. I believe (without having tested) that if
configured to track nested statements they would perceive the
FK enforcement query as a separate statement to track.
Yes, they do.
You need to set "auto_explain.log_nested_statements = on" or
"pg_stat_statements.track = all".
