Can we have 2 databases on same server

["Suresh Gupta VG" <suresh.g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Team,

 

I have Solaris 9 machine with Pgsql 7.4 and want to upgrade to 8.2.5. I don’t want to disturb the first version now. I want to install second one separately and need to test with my application. If it works fine, I will activate only the latest one and other version 7.4 will be discarded. This is my idea.

 

1)       Can I please know, if we can run 2 databases on the same server with out any conflicts?

2)       If it is so, at what stage we are need to configure the 2 databases? Pls provide links or docs if available.

3)       If we had a front end application and have the options like switching the database, the 2 databases are compulsory, right?(Thinking only one server is available.)

 

Can you pls advice on this.
