PostgreSQL How-to

[SpaceAdmiral]

I've been reading a little bit about PostgreSQL and have decided I want to try it out on my VPS alongside MySQL to see how it stacks up.

I'm wondering if anyone has a link to a nice how-to for installing it. I assume it's the same install process for any distro, but, in case it matters, I'm running Whitebox (RHEL 3).

You can install it via apt.

Try apt-get search postgresql to find out what the package name is. It will probably be rhdb-server or postgresql-server. Then run apt-get install $packagename
