Hello Bruce,

I am specifically looking for the "Datenbanksystemidentifikation" , that would be "database system identification" - the rather unique ID of a database installation. Third line in pg_controldata output:


pg_control-Versionsnummer:                833
Katalogversionsnummer:                    200711281
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Datenbanksystemidentifikation:            5293702538224708457
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Datenbank-Cluster-Status:                 im Produktionsmodus
pg_control zuletzt geändert:              02.06.2009 10:54:27


Best wishes,

Harald

Some of the settings have read-only variables that appear in SHOW ALL or
the pg_settings tables, or SELECT version().  Is there something
specific you are looking for that doesn't appear there?
