Re: Postgres registry access using java

In the pg_settings table, all reference to folder is with reference to data
directory. Like "config_file" "C:/Program
Files/PostgreSQL/8.3/data/postgresql.conf""data_directory" "C:/Program
Files/PostgreSQL/8.3/data""hba_file" "C:/Program
Files/PostgreSQL/8.3/data/pg_hba.conf""ident_file" "C:/Program
Files/PostgreSQL/8.3/data/pg_ident.conf"No reference to postgres instalation
base directory, i mean where postgres have been installed. We know it is
possible to install data directory as users's convinient location, may be
outside instalation directory. In that case how to fetch postgres
instalation directory? I am looking for lib directory, which I can found out
by traversing directory path, once I find what is base installed directory
for postgresql. Whatever thanks again for your reply. I have opened every
system table, to find base directory location. I didn't find, may be I am
missing something. Can you enrich me with the table name, where home
directory (or installed directory not the data directory) location is
mentioned.RegardsAnirban

Ok, then you have some additional native code installed :^)

Does the documentation of this add-on suggest a way to search and
traverse Windoes registry keys?

Asking the database server does not work for you?
