Re: pg_conndefaults Returning empty string

Hi,

I am using Postgres as a part of another software and the version is 9.3.

I do not know how then the pg_conndefaults command works.

Please help me with some other solution so that I can get the details of a
particular connection such as host ip address and then use that create a
new connection to a different database.

Thank You
Anushka
