We were talking about separate database structures (as created by
initdb), not separate databases within one structure. Each separate
structure requires a postmaster.

You cannot run different postmaster instances simultaneously unless you
differentiate them by using different ports. The point of the original
enquiry was for people to have their own separate database structures,
which could be subject to disk quotas; they will not want to queue up to
use them, will they?
