Re: how to check the creation date of a postgres database?

It didn't seem to work....

I just checked one $PGDATA/base directory, they all have today's time stamp (9/20/06) around 6:00 am this morning, that was when my daily database dump cron job was running...

thanks anyway

The only solution I can think of is querying
select oid, datname from pg_database;
and then look up the timestamps of the corresponding directories
in $PGDATA/base.

Bye, Chris.
