[PATCH v6 2/3] Add core versions to pg_system_versions

Dmitry Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com> — 2025-11-26T19:05:20Z

Populate pg_system_versions with a set of core versions: host system
architecture, ICU version, glibc version, PostgreSQL itself and compiler
which was used to build everything. Register the core versions at the
backend startup.

    select * from pg_system_versions;
       name   |   version    |     type
    ----------+--------------+--------------
     Arch     | x86_64-linux | Compile Time
     ICU      | 15.1         | Run Time
     Core     | 18devel      | Compile Time
     Compiler | gcc-14.0.1   | Compile Time
     Glibc    | 2.40         | Run Time
