PostgreSQL Binary Directory Configuration

The Binary Directory (PGBIN) is the absolute path to the installation directory of a specific PostgreSQL version.

Typically, installations are performed under the /usr/pgsql-VV directory, where VV corresponds to the PostgreSQL major version.

note

Although there are no restrictions for having binaries of the same version in different directories, for the PostgreSYS platform, it is understood that there should be only one directory per major version.
