Overview
The pg_config view describes the compile-time configuration parameters of the currently installed version of the database. It is used by software packages that need to interact with this database to find the header files and libraries that they need. It provides the same basic information as the pg_config database client application.
Note
By default, the pg_config view can only be read by privileged accounts.
The following table describes the columns in the pg_config view.
