Of course, Deepak!
I had made an alias for "pg_ctl start ..." and always
had -D setting as /usr/local/pgsql/data. I have been
relying on this alias so much, I completely forgot
that's how actually it gets done.
Thank you.

Subject: Re: trouble restoring data from postgres 8.3.3 to freshly installed 8.3.6
First make sure you stop the 8.3.3 / 8.3.6 server and then start 8.3.6
server and point the data path to 8.3.3 data path.
/usr/postgres/8.3.3/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/postgres/8.3.3/data/pgsql8.3.3 stop
/usr/postgres/8.3.6/bin/postgres -i -D /usr/postgres/8.3.3/data/pgsql8.3.3
>logfile 2>&1 &
Enjoy
Thanks
