Forgive my ignorance, but I'm new to PostgreSQL. Regarding installation, I'm trying to understand some of the differences between Red Hat, Ubuntu, and OpenSUSE. My goal is to set up a self-contained lab instance for learning on each distribution. So, I assume I'll need both the client and server on each, right? From
www.postgresql.org, the "most common and important packages" for these distributions and their installation instructions are as follows:
Unlike the
postgresql.org webpages for Red Hat and Ubuntu, the OpenSUSE webpage, doesn't provide a list of the "most common and important" packages to get postgresql up and running. Instead, it refers me to this webpage:
Also, are the following equivalent?
Red Hat Ubuntu
postgresql-server postgresql-9.4
postgresql-client postgresql-client-9.4
postgresql-contrib postgresql-contrib-9.4
postgresql-devel postgresql-server-dev-9.4 libpq-dev
pgadmin3 pgadmin3
Does the Red Hat postgresql-devel package include the same programs as Ubuntu's postgresql-server-dev-9.4 and libpq-dev packages?
What would be the OpenSUSE command to install the "most common and important packages" that are equivalent to the Red Hat and Ubuntu packages listed above?
zypper install ... ?
