If and only if you use the same postgres version you can set up Mandriva /
ubuntu /Debian to access the identical postgres data directory.
You could dedicate a partition the data directory of postgres, mount that
partition in each distro (not at the same time) and tell eack postgres
(Mandriva, Debian, Ubuntu about that data directory). I once used data file
created on Linux in a Windows postgres but it is not recommended.
Windows XP does not know UTF-8 for the locale so you would have to live with
locale C on Linux and Windows.
What if I DO make it locale C ... do I lose my accents and cedile?
When you say it is not recommended do you have in mindo something bad like loss of data or just troublesome/hard to do?
