Thread: Multiple DB servers on a single machine

Multiple DB servers on a single machine

Dear Friends,
 
I am having an RH Linux 7.3 box which is already running an Postgres 7.3.4 server. I want to install Postgres 7.4 on the same machine. Is it possible to install different versions of Postgres in a single RH Linux 7.3 box and the postmaster up and running for both (7.3.4 & 7.4 database servers).
 
Please shed some light with a white paper or an article to do it.
 
Regards
Kumar

Yes, you can run multiple servers on a single machine, provided on
different port & data directory. Change PGDATA & PGPORT variables in
your init.d script.
