I would like to be able to connect to my PostgreSQL server in the office without having to always SSH to the server and then use the client on the server. Can I simply not use a client on my workstation and connect using:
psql -h 192.168.1.200 -d dbname
I don't want to install the database application daemon on my workstation as I find that to be extremely overkill in order to just connect via CLI to a database server. I would think there has to be a separate client application I can install, no?

It is a 4 MB package so you are splitting hairs over package size. Just because you install the server doesn't mean you ever have to run it, so the postgresql package is what you want.

It's not the size of the package as that would be splitting hairs. So I have to install the server daemon / software in order to have a client application? I work for the DoD and we have applications that are authorized and not authorized to be installed on basic workstations. Obviously workstations running their own database servers are not permitted here so looks like that doesn't work.

abs exists for a reason. You can always make your own split postgresql package if you want to. (assuming pgsql actually can be split in server/client packages)

I assume it had a purpose but decided to ask here 1st in case the client package already existed.

A quick search on AUR finds exactly this:

If you only want the client psql, install only the libraries...
sudo pacman -S postgresql-libs

Please don't necrobump 8 year old threads, chances that things have changed in the meantime are high.
