Hi all,

The attached patch add a new column into 'pg_database' called 'datcreated'
to store the timestamp of database creation.

If this feature is approved I could extend it to add a column into
'pg_class' to store creation timestamp too.

I think we can discuss about psql support to show this new info about
databases...

Regards,
