Hi all. I need to run both 8.1 and 8.2 at the same time in order to check everything in 8.2 *before* shutting 8.1 down. I need to run both as I only have one machine available. I'm using a debian derivateive (Kubuntu) that provides a nice pg_wrapper mechanism to direct connections for tools to either version you want. Infact I see both versions running, one on port 5432 and one on port 5433. The point is thay I have no clue on ow to choose which instance attach to. I've already posted this question to the KUbuntu team with no answer in 14+ hours.
You choose one or the other by changing the port. If you're not sure which is running on which port, you can try connecting.
something along the lines of: psql -p 5433 -U postgres template1 select version(); should tell you.
