AFAIK, only one of those four is designed to support multiple instances

willalso help you run multiple postgresql's on the same machien in a consistent manner, for instance:<br /><br />
postmaster-C /etc/postgres/common.conf -D /RAID0/postgres -p 5432<br /> postmaster -C /etc/postgres/common.conf -D
/RAID1/postgres-p 5433<br /><br /> Please, Tom, tell me why this is such a bad idea?<br /><br /> I will make the patch,
Iwill submit it, will you guys put it in?<br /><br /> If not, why?<br /><br /><blockquote
