Re: Alternate Database Locations

Well I got it working kinda.

You have set up an environment for the new directory and export it under 
the PGSQL super user account

PGDATA2=/home/userid
export PGDATA2

Then run
initlocation PGDATA2

After that you have to restart your postmaster with the data dir as PGDATA2
postmaster -d PGDATA2

Now you can greate a new db in a new location
createdb mydb -D PGDATA2

that is it and you have a new location for ALL your database if you use it 
... If you do not add -D PGDATA2 for future db it writes to the default 
location but you may have problems access it.

I am still trying to find out how to get multiple postmasters running on 
different ports at the same time.  Does anyone have any clue how to do that?
