[Mario A. Soto Cordones]

Hi,
How can i get the Client Host name/IP Address for the current
connection(session). Is there any function or system table(view) which
will these details.

Thank

joining column's datatypes do not match

In 8.0 you'll be able to use inet_client_addr(). I don't think you
could get this info in earlier versions, although I recall seeing
an user-defined function that somebody had written. Use a search
engine and see if anything comes up.
