Certainly, there are more considerations to take into account than I initially realized. One possibility would be to create an alias (or synonym) for the function "pg_postmaster_start_time", naming it "pg_postgres_start_time". This way, the name change could occur gradually and strategically over the coming years, without immediate impact. I believe this approach could be viable to facilitate a future transition without abrupt breaks. Maiquel
