PGSQL Newbie

Good morning all!  I'm a newbie to PGSQL here so thought I would ask my
first question since I joined this list this morning...

Is it possible to run Postgresql and MySQL together on the same machine?

Yes, it is even possible to mulitple clusters of postgresql running at the same time.  Just
remember that you have to configure each to only use its share of your hardware resources so that
they play nice together (i.e. you don't start swapping to disk).

Hi Robert!

Sure, why not? Both databases run on different directories, ports, sockets
and so on.

Greetings,
Matthias

Yes. You might also want to take a look at pgsql-novice :)

Sure, my development machine is setup this way so that I can write
code to migrate away from MySQL.
