Summary

PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system (DBMS).

The base postgresql package contains the client programs that you'll need to

access a PostgreSQL DBMS server, as well as HTML documentation for the whole

system. These client programs can be located on the same machine as the

PostgreSQL server, or on a remote machine that accesses a PostgreSQL server

over a network connection. The PostgreSQL server can be found in the

postgresql-server sub-package.

Per release notes: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/release-9-5-7.html

su -c 'dnf upgrade postgresql' at the command line.

For more information, refer to the dnf documentation available at

https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command_ref.html
