It's the same (physical) server as well as the same PostGreSQL daemon, 
so yes.

The only difference is the actual database, the test database is made 
from a backup of the live database and restored onto the same PostGreSQL 
server.
So if I run "show databases" in psql i get:
- test
- live

Makes sense??
