I'm not aware that the creation time is stored anywhere (except perhaps in query logs) but you might be able to infer it from the modification times of the oldest files in the database's directory. PG_VERSION looks like a good candidate -- the backend probably doesn't modify it after the database is created, so if nothing at the OS level has touched that file then its modification time should reflect the database's creation time. -- Michael Fuhr
