Thanks :)

I though it was consequent to expect such a function, since there is
pg_get_userbyid().
I'm a bit reluctant to use a real lookup-function for what I have in mind.
My application connects to the server and hopefully can keep the
connection up until the user leaves his desk. During the whole session
every insert/update will trigger those user-id lookups for an
information that is constant for the session.
I hoped there were a function that could read the user-id directly from
the connection's properties.

Well, well ... that's life ...
