Re: Is it possible to start two instances of postgresql?

both of the two database are live but use for two different web app.
my company don't want to spend more to buy a new server, so then I think of
to implement both under the same server and one instance..
but then my superior don't want to do that way.
they want to implement two databases in one server but if one of the
database down it will not affect the other, so that's why I need to have
two instances.

What do you want to do?
Do you need 2 separate pg-versions? Or do you need, for instance, a
live-db and a test-db?

Yes, but on the other side, if you have 2 instances on the same machine
and this machine chrash, then you lost all.
What do you want to do? Perhaps, you need slony? (replication solution)

Btw.: please, no silly fullquote.
