Here is a pl/python function which gives you "the real" database
creation time.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION database_create_ts(INOUT dbname text, OUT
ctime timestamp)
RETURNS SETOF RECORD
LANGUAGE plpythonu AS
$$
import os, time
res = plpy.execute("""select datname, current_setting('data_directory') ddir,
oid as dboid from pg_database where datname like '%s';""" %
dbname)
for row in res: dbpath = '%(ddir)s/base/%(dboid)s' % row stat = os.stat(dbpath) yield row['datname'],
'%04d-%02d-%02d%02d:%02d:%02d+00' %
time.gmtime(stat.st_ctime)[:6]
$$;
SELECT * FROM database_create_ts('template%');
