I run HEM 1.0 and i have 2 different versions of postgresql installed on my computer (version 8.4 and version 9.2).
HEM is not compatible with version 9.2 so everytime I want to run HEM i need to go into task manager, stop running 9.2 and start running 8.4.

This process is somewhat inconvenient so I want to uninstall 9.2 and keep 8.4.

My only question is: can you please confirm that if i uninstall postgresql 9.2 it won't screwup my database??? Because right now everything works fine and I don't want to risk damaging my database.

Are SQL 8.4 and 9.2 both installed to a separate port?
For example 8.4 on port 5432, and 9.2 on port 5433.

HM1 runs just fine with PostgeSQL 9.0 and 9.2. (only 9.1 can cause problems).

If 8.4 is using a separate port, you can just uninstall 9.2 and it won't interfere with the 8.4 database.

8.4 is on port 5432, i have no idea what port 9.2 runs on because 9.2 cannot even start.

How do i check if they are on separate ports??

i don't want any damage to my database at all.

Run pgadminIII, and you can see if 8.4 and 9.2 are using the same port, or different ports.

how do i run pgadminIII

and if they happen to be on the same port? does that mean that i should not uninstall the 9.2 version?

Run Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin/pgadmin3.exe

If PostgreSQL 9.2 never ran for you, and you never created a PostgreSQL 9.2 database, you can just uninstall, even if 9.2 was attempting to use the same port as 8.4
