Name        : postgresql
Product     : Fedora 12
Version     : 8.4.3
Release     : 1.fc12
URL         : http://www.postgresql.org/
Summary     : PostgreSQL client programs
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 local or remote PostgreSQL
server, you need this package. You also need to install this package
if you're installing the postgresql-server package.

Update Information:

- Update to PostgreSQL 8.4.3, for various fixes described at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/release-8-4-3.html    - Bring init
script into some modicum of compliance with Fedora/LSB standards    - Arrange
for the postmaster, but not any of its child processes, to be run    with
oom_adj -17.  This compensates for the OOM killer not being smart about
accounting for shared memory usage.
