Here are my two cents:
You dont want to remove packages installed with Solaris by default..
However you may use your own Postgres packages or binaries in different
location and not enable Postgres by default. (PostgreSQL is an integral
part of Solaris 10 )
Don't forget some of Solaris's own tools like SunMC now uses the bundled
postgres in the operating system and hence depends on its existence and
tested against it.

Removing PostgreSQL packages installed by default is not supported since
upgrades to the Operating system will depend on those file installations
to exist out in the preset locations. However that does not mean you
cannot have your own binaries and use them at the default port. The
default database is not enabled by default which means there is no
collision of port numbers unless you want both database clusters to be
enabled. If thats the case than changing Port numbers in either your
database cluster or the default db instance (if init'ed by using svcadm
start postgres_82:default for the first time) in
/var/postgres/8.2/data/postgresql.conf should be fairly easy.
Other option is to use "OpenSolaris" CD images which does not have
PostgreSQL installed by default as part of the "CD image" install as of now.

Hi Joshua,
I think I have to explain it a little more detailed
- my product uses a postgres database with the standart config (ports etc.)
- with Solaris 10 postgres is already installed as standart
- I need to replace this Solaris 10 postgres installation with my standart
postgres database of my product
That is the reason I need to remove the standart postgres installation from
Solaris 10 that I can use my own postgres database.
My concern is how I can remove this standart Solaris 10 postgres database as
quick and efficient as possible that I can put in my postgres database?
Cheers Thomas

Hi Joshua
The problem is this that I need this ports for my default postgres
database.
Is it than possible to have 2 default postgres databases in parallel?
Same ports etc.....?
I am afraid I don't understand what you are asking. You can't have two
postgresql installations bound to the same port. You can have two postgresql
installations pointing to different ports on the same machine.
