Hello,

I have a quesion - suppose I have sparc box and x86 box running same
release of postgresql compiled with same options. Can I simply copy database
directory between hosts (of course when postgresql server is stopped on both
boxes)?

BTW Mysql (MyISAM) and sqlite allow this.

Thanks for your answer in advance!
