It's the same (physical) server as well as the same PostGreSQL daemon,
so yes.
The only difference is the actual database, the test database is made
from a backup of the live database and restored onto the same PostGreSQL
server.
So if I run "show databases" in psql i get:
- test
- live
Makes sense??
