Dears,

I'm looking for a way to univocally identify the server on which a sql function 
or statement is running. My idea would be something close to the value returned 
by a 'host -f' under linux: the FQDN of the host, but even a serial code or a 
number would be fine to me. It needs only to be immutable, I guess.

I know there is something suitable under Oracle and, even worse, under mysql...

The purpose is mostly related to a light replication problem I have, in which I 
need to 'emulate' a multi-master replication on a table.

I placed a question on the IRC list and I found a couple of unreplied messages 
asking the same thing in the pgsql-general list.

Regards,
