My application is commercial. It uses postgresql. I want include in my-app a "protection-trick" retrieving a some kind
of"unique system_identifier". Your pg_control file could be good, but it's a "data-file". How can I extract infos from
it?
Around same dir I have found these infos:
"myappdb" 20496 1663 3221455155 229682
Maybe are these the keys?
Thanks,
Giulio
P.S.: sorry, now post became OT for "jdbc".
