There is an open item "pg_controldata - machine readable?" in the list: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_9.0_Open_Items
The proposal by Joe Conway is adding a new contib module. http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/4b959d7a.6010...@joeconway.com http://github.com/jconway/pg_controldata Should we add the module to 9.0? If we do so, SGML documentation is required. IMHO, I'd like to put the feature into the core instead of a contrib module, but we cannot change the catalog version in this time. So, how about providing control file information through pg_settings view? We will retrieve those variables as GUC options.
