Can I also ask y'all a more general question about this, specifically related to how Postgres is packaged for RHEL/Centos? I've got both 9.6 and 9.2 installed. In this case though, it seems that the 9.2 version is privileged/selected by default. But psql defaults to the 9.6 version. Are there other similar things that will default to either 9.2 or 9.6? And if so, what controls that behavior, is it easily-changeable, and/or can you go back and forth?
I've never tried running two versions at once before. Maybe this is an isolated incident, but I'm just trying to get my mind around the concept, and know what kind of pitfalls if any to expect or beware of. Thanks!
when you run multiple versions, you need to keep the path *and* the port straight. each server running is on a separate port. I have one dev box at work that runs pg 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, and 9.6, all on seperate ports.
