Hello Bruce,
I am specifically looking for the "Datenbanksystemidentifikation" , that would be "database system identification" - the rather unique ID of a database installation. Third line in pg_controldata output:
pg_control-Versionsnummer: 833
Katalogversionsnummer: 200711281
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Datenbanksystemidentifikation: 5293702538224708457
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Datenbank-Cluster-Status: im Produktionsmodus
pg_control zuletzt geändert: 02.06.2009 10:54:27
Best wishes,
Harald

Some of the settings have read-only variables that appear in SHOW ALL or
the pg_settings tables, or SELECT version(). Is there something
specific you are looking for that doesn't appear there?
