Re: Remove Postgres from Solaris 10

Hi Robert,

That's the issue, the database is not running which gets delivered with Solaris 10 but I am not sure if the my customer accidently activates it or not, so I want to be on the safe side of live, that I minimize this risk.

Cheers Thomas

By default the Postgres versions that are shipped with Solaris are disabled (run "svcs postgresql" to verify). So if you just want to use your own Postgres binary, you don't have to worry about changing the port as long as you don't enable the versions that come with Solaris.
You are making conflicting statement about running both databases in parallel but at the same time want to replace your version with the binary that comes with Solaris. Perhaps you're thinking that the Postgres that comes with Solaris is always running by default which is not the case!
