Since config/database.yml is read through ERB, you can do stuff like
host: <%= RAILS_DIR %>/db/pgdata
or
host: <%= `hostname` %>
Check vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb, this is from Rails 2.3:
# Loads and returns the contents of the
#database_configuration_file. The
# contents of the file are processed via ERB before being sent
through
# YAML::load.
def database_configuration
require 'erb'
YAML::load(ERB.new(IO.read(database_configuration_file)).result)
end
