You're missing something. Check which port you are actually talking to. I do this all the time --- my development machine standardly has half a dozen postmasters running on it, one for each major release 7.0-current. They do not impinge on each other at all. It helps to build each release from source so that you can set a different install prefix and default port number for each one. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
