2009-03-23 15:16:59
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name        : postgresql
Product     : Fedora 10
Version     : 8.3.7
Release     : 1.fc10
URL         : https://www.postgresql.org/
Summary     : PostgreSQL client programs and libraries
Description :
PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system
(DBMS) that supports almost all SQL constructs (including
transactions, subselects and user-defined types and functions). The
postgresql package includes the client programs and libraries that
you'll need to access a PostgreSQL DBMS server.  These PostgreSQL
client programs are programs that directly manipulate the internal
structure of PostgreSQL databases on a PostgreSQL server. These client
programs can be located on the same machine with the PostgreSQL
server, or may be on a remote machine which accesses a PostgreSQL
server over a network connection. This package contains the docs
in HTML for the whole package, as well as command-line utilities for
managing PostgreSQL databases on a PostgreSQL server.

If you want to manipulate a PostgreSQL database on a remote PostgreSQL
server, you need this package. You also need to install this package
if you're installing the postgresql-server package.

Summary

PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system

(DBMS) that supports almost all SQL constructs (including

transactions, subselects and user-defined types and functions). The

postgresql package includes the client programs and libraries that

you'll need to access a PostgreSQL DBMS server. These PostgreSQL

client programs are programs that directly manipulate the internal

structure of PostgreSQL databases on a PostgreSQL server. These client

programs can be located on the same machine with the PostgreSQL

server, or may be on a remote machine which accesses a PostgreSQL

server over a network connection. This package contains the docs

in HTML for the whole package, as well as command-line utilities for

managing PostgreSQL databases on a PostgreSQL server.

If you want to manipulate a PostgreSQL database on a remote PostgreSQL

server, you need this package. You also need to install this package

if you're installing the postgresql-server package.
