  • This doesn't make much sense. What's listen_addresses set to? What do you mean by in spite of ::1/128? What's the actual return value you want?

    I got answer on manual. inet is a type on postgres. To convert it to text must invoke host( inet_server_addr() ) to cast it to varchar. Without it has returned that weird ::1/128 token.

@cavila's answer in comments also answers the question "Why does select inet_server_addr() || '' return a result like 192.168.44.195/32?"



inet is a data type. To suppress the number of bits and get a text IP like '192.168.51.195', use select(host(inet_server_addr())).
