title: Absolute path of data directory in postgresql
body: <p>When I try to use the <code>SHOW data_directory;</code> from the server computer, it shows the output as :</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.2/data</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>And I need to get the data directory path 
  from the client machine so I used the same <code>SHOW data_directory;</code> command but it's still showing the output as : <code>C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.2/data</code>,</p>
  
  <p>What I am trying to achieve here is :</p>
  
  <p><code>\\pg_server_comp\C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.2\data</code></p>
  
  <p>I need guidance here on how this can be achieved. Also, if I am missing something that can be corrected to achieve the output.</p>
