Обсуждение: uninstalling postgre sql on Fedora core 5

Hi,

When I installed Fedora Core 5 Linux to my x86 Desktop machine, it
automatically included PostGreSQL.  What is the proper way to
uninstall?  Since it came by default, I can't tell if it was installed
by source or RPM ... or can I?

Thanks, - Dave

Not sure why you'd want to remove it but hey :)

I use this syntax (I'm sure there's a better way but this works):

rpm -qa | grep -i 'postgres'

find the package names, then

rpm -e pkg1 pkg2 pkg3 etc

You may find other packages are dependent on postgresql, maybe you
installed something that requires it.

or: rpm -e `rpm -qa|grep postgresql`

Because you are probably a new user of Fedora, you should use
graphical interface called "pirut" - if should be accessible using
desktop menu:
    System -> Add/Remove Software
