We appear to be having the same problems posting ;-)

Well, is it possible to run two different versions of postgresql
side-by-side on the same machine? I don't want to end up with a non-working
database just because I've made some stupid mistake installing a new
version, and then find that I can't revert back to the old one either.

Is it at least possible to have two different versions installed
side-by-side, even if you can only have one running at a time?


Cheers,
Gerard.
