My customer has 3 computers. The PostgreSQL service could be running on either of two of them. There is currently no way in our system to determine which one it is running on. The third computer sometimes needs to know which of the other two computers is active. It would be enough to know which computer is running the PostgreSQL service. Is the name of the server available in a PostgreSQL database, so that it could be retrieved using a query?
I am unaware of any such query. However "show listen_addresses;" might allow you to achieve your goal.
