Обсуждение: changing major/minor on libpq for releases ...

Just curious, but how do ppl handle running two different versions on the
same machine?  I want to start up a v6.5 server where v6.4.2 server
already exists...

I'm wondering if it might make sense to up the libpq on a release, so that
this can work?

Run them with different port addresses.  I do it all the time...

No, I don't think that's a good idea.  There's no reason to break binary
compatibility of libpq when setting PGPORT will do the job; the same
psql binary (or any other application) can talk to either release.
