How about using the psql prompt to convey this information? IIRC the
psql prompt can be configured to show the hostname, server, port and
other fields. Wouldn't this be enough? or am I missing something?

-hackers,
In the spirit of small, but hopefully useful interface improvement
patches, enclosed for your review is a patch for providing psql
with a
\whoami command (maybe a better name is \conninfo or similar). Its
purpose is to print information about the current connection, by
default
in a human-readable format. There is also an optional format
parameter
which currently accepts 'dsn' as an option to output the current
connection information as a DSN.
On a first note, it seems like the check for the parameter "dsn" isn't
"complete". Without testing it, it looks like it would be possible to
run "\whoami foobar", which should give an error.
oooh, I could really use this. +1 to put it in 9.1-first CF.
however, \conninfo is probably the better name. And what about a
+1 on that name.
postgresql function version for non-psql connections?
How could that function possibly know what the connection looks like
from the client side? Think NAT, think proxies, think connection
poolers.
