[root@branchpoint build]# rpm -qa | sort | grep -i postgresql 
postgresql92-9.2.9-1.46.amzn1.x86_64
postgresql92-devel-9.2.9-1.46.amzn1.x86_64
postgresql92-libs-9.2.9-1.46.amzn1.x86_64
postgresql92-server-9.2.9-1.46.amzn1.x86_64
postgresql92-server-compat-9.2.9-1.46.amzn1.x86_64
[root@branchpoint build]#

[root@branchpoint build]# rpm -qa | sort | grep -i postgresql
