But IIRC the Matthias implementation doesn't work in standalone mode. And talking about the 'interval', I think it's too ugly make this: select CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - pg_starttime();
Isn't it more simple do this? select pg_uptime(); I think few people will use start_time and more people will use uptime that's why I propose the 'uptime' function. Talking abouts names, IMHO we need to go with uptime() and start_time(). Why? That's because a system function and it's about server. When we implement backend uptime, we can go with connection_uptime() and connection_start_time(). Comments?
