Thread: Client Installation

Is there a minimum set of components that you install for just the client portion

of postgres?

I want to install just the client portion on a machine (that accesses a server on another

machine) without installing the entire postgres environment. I thought I'd seen a place

where somebody had broken the client and backend into seperate RPMs, but I can't

find where I saw that discussed.

Thx,

Jeff

Once, I've done this for SuSE Linux.  Sorry, I'm not able to check the
location (I'm ill at home), but it should be found somewhere at
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/SuSE-Linux/suse/ap1/postgres.rpm (the engine) and
pg_ifa.rpm (the interfaces = client).  pg_dbase.rpm contains the initial
database.  The source are in .../zq1.

I'm sure, my schema could be improved.
