Re: Looking for table in PostregSQL that contains Operating System and Processor information

In such way you can determine OS and bit's of hardware in which
PostgreSQL were compilied, not current server.

For example I have Debian 5 and select version(); returns:

PostgreSQL 8.3.14 on i486-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc-4.3.real
(Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3.2
