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.
