Micheal, Thanks for the reply. But I guess there is some communication gap between me and you regarding this topic. As I understood from your reply is, you are talking about the date of Postgres setup/installation/upgrade. Am I right? If I am right then sorry for the miscommunication. Please let me clarify my question again. Suppose I created a new database using the command: CREATE DATABASE <database_name> I want to know how can I get created date of the above database.
