Hi, My company is using PGDATA to store configuration files and the guc data_directory to give the path to the instance directory.
They would use it like this: pg_ctl start -D <path to CONFDIR> -w with this directory setup: <somepath>/CONFDIR => postgresql.conf pg_hba.conf pg_ident.conf <somepath>/SYSTEM => All the normal stuff in the postgres instance directory + recovery.conf recovery.done etc... Is it commonly used ? Thanks for your help / remarks / feedback. Benoit.
