PGHOST is set to that as well.
Er, mistake here. That's actually once per standard_initdb, except that all the tests I have included in my patch run it just once to create a master node. It seems that it would be wiser to set one socket dir per node then, remove the port assignment stuff, and use tempdir_short as a key to define a node as well as in the connection string to this node. I'll update the patch later today... -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
