Is there any way to determine the location of files in a database without being the postgres user? Essentially i'm after the setting of PGDATA so i can then show disk status (df) for that partition.
The pg_database catalogue has 'datpath': If the database is stored at an alternative location then this records the location. It's either an environment variable name or an absolute path, depending how it was entered. so I'm really looking for the default location... I could knock together a C function to do this (and indeed another to return the usage stats too), but would like to check first there's no simple way already!
