hi all,

is there a way to determine the session id on a database session?

I would need to have a unique number whenever a session is started, and
have this available as a function or view result.


Why not SELECT pg_backend_pid();
??

This is guaranteed to be unique while connected, but if you want to track sessions over time isn't guaranteed to be. So, if you might have pid=1234 now and also a month ago in a different session (especially if you had a server reboot in-between).


Of course, if Riccardo doesn't need that, the pid is fine.
