Re: PostgreSQL License

Charging for installing PostgreSQL is not the same as charging for PostgreSQL.

Bottom line: you charge for services you provide not for software that other people provide.

Thanks,
but is it legal to charge for installing PostgreSQL?

as you said:

You cannot (legitimately) charge the pharmacist for any part PostgresQL 

should I in the contract write that the price does not include installing PostgreSQL, preparing it or PostgreSQL itself?

 or just from my side while I am going to set price I have to dont count installing the PostgreSQL or PostgreSQL itself as a part of that price?

You can charge the pharmacist for your efforts: your web app (license),
installing postgres and your schema (somewhere) and the data supporting
your web-app, any documentation of your web-app and schema, any
maintenance and support you care to specify. You can copy-right your app
and schema and data.

You cannot (legitimately) charge the pharmacist for any part PostgresQL.
