Any help will be highly appreciated. short answer is no but you shouldn't need to move the binaries and libraries in order to move the database. if you explain why that's a requirement i'll put some more thought into it (creating a zone in that location springs to mind but it's not exactly the same thing). ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
