If you do this, each separate instance needs a different port.  That can
be set in $PGDATA/postgresql.conf.

When you connect to the server (with psql or another frontend) you
specify the correct port for the server you want.

  psql -p 5433 -d mydatabase

or

  export PGPORT=5433
  psql -d mydatabase
