You are going to have to explain what, in your situation, BASH has to do
with the upgrade process. Generally migrations depend on Postgres
programs and are not shell specific.

Hi Everyone!
I would appreciate any assistance with configuring the bash
profile to run two different postgresql versions. Specifically
V12.7 and 15.7
Create a bash function that exports PGDATA to the relevant
directory, based on the parameter you pass.
Add as much error checking (to ensure that the parameter you passed
actually points to a real data dir and that the postmaster is
running. How you do that depends on whether it's Debian-based,
RH-based or something else.
We, for example, have standardized on data directories in the format:
/Database/<MajorVer>/data
Thus, something as simple as this would work for us:
pgswitch() { export PGDATA=/Database/${1}/data ; }
