If you run Debian or Ubuntu you can do this with the package system. apt-get install postgresql-8.2 postgresql-7.4 The two versions are automatically installed to run on different ports. Look at the docs and manpages for the postgresql-common package to see how it works. If you can't do that, you can install a different version from source in a different directory tree; then have its postmaster run on a different port. Specify the port number when connecting so as to get to the postmaster you want. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/A54310EA 92C8 39E7 280E 3631 3F0E 1EC0 5664 7A2F A543 10EA ======================================== Do you want to know God? http://www.lfix.co.uk/knowing_god.html -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
