Re: multiple postgres instances from RPM install

After consulting with a teammate, I've found out that they'd have no
problem simply doing 2 separate makes. In fact, I'm glad. It's makes
much better sense.

Thanks,
Tom

please read about initdb

you can initdb two different empty directories as two different unix
users.
when you initdb a directory you will get a postgresql.conf file in it.
you can change the port number in that file to run different instances
separately.

but do you really need two different instances that would possibly
compete
each other for resources?
