Thanks. That should be easier to find in the documentation, perhaps it
should be mentioned in the docs for the pg_database system catalog.

From an ISP's or DBA's point of view, it would be preferable if there was
a way to determine which directory held which database without having
to actually log into the database. I can envision circumstances under
which postmaster might not be running when that information is needed.
