PostGreSQL 7.4.5 RedHat 8
I saw the recent thread re problems when copying databases across machines.
If I have two 'servers' - both RedHat 8, both running PostgreSQL 7.4.5, is is valid (if the postmaster is down on both servers) to simply copy the PGDATA directory from one 'server' to a different (previously emptied) location on the second 'server'? It seems to fire up ok and work 'at first glance' - but I don't want to create any long term problems
.
