Hi,

Is that possible to set the PGDATA at run-time?

What we want to achieve is to run the postgres backend/frontend at a
machine different from the machine where the data directory is stored.

It appears that excutables such as monitor, createdb, createuser, etc. 
read/write to the directory that has been set at compilation.

(Went through the manual of 4.2. Haven't found any info. on the setting
of environment variables like PGDATA.)


thanks in advance
