Re: Adding date column to system catalog "pg_database"

Hi Pavan,

As pg_database is a system catalog table and you can not add or alter it
even you are superuser.

You can get the database related information which you are looking for
using below query.

SELECT (pg_stat_file('base/'||oid ||'/PG_VERSION')).modification, datname
FROM pg_database;

Hope this helps..
