Yes that's possible. The debian packaged versions since 8.0 are designed to facilitate multiple clusters on a single host, and if you install two major versions of postgres it'll automatically set them up for you using port 5433 for the new version. On redhat it may not be so easy. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
