Обсуждение: PostgreSQL vs PostgreSQL-server
In looking at SuSE's download site, I see two available RPMs: postgresql and postgresql-server. It may be a novice question, but thn I am a Postgres novice. What exactly is the difference?

I can't tell you what is in postgresql (probably things like psql) but I can tell you that without postgresql-server, you aren't going to get very far :) In short you likely need both. Joshua D.

You don't say what flavor of SuSE, but on: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64) VERSION = 10 PATCHLEVEL = 2 Searching in yast I see the attached. Notice the description. Of course, SuSE tends to lag so far behind that I always build from source for the release I want. -Kevin

One is the server, the other contains the client programs only (e.g. psql). > In looking at SuSE's download site, I see two available RPMs: postgresql > and postgresql-server.

postgresql RPM:
If you want to manipulate a PostgreSQL database on a local or remote
PostgreSQL server, you need this package. You also need to install this
package if you're installing the postgresql-server package.
postgresql-server:
The postgresql-server package includes the programs needed to create
and run a PostgreSQL server, which will in turn allow you to create
and maintain PostgreSQL databases. You should install postgresql-server
if you want to create and maintain your own PostgreSQL databases and/or
your own PostgreSQL server.
-HTH.
