Re: Disabling of postgresql module

If you don't disable the postgresql-module, none of the server
packages from yum.postgresql.org are visible on RHEL8 (rocky 8 actually):

$ sudo yum search postgresql server
======================================================== Name & Summary Matched: server, postgresql
=========================================================
postgresql-server.x86_64 : The programs needed to create and run a PostgreSQL server
postgresql-server-devel.x86_64 : PostgreSQL development header files and libraries

$ sudo dnf module disable postgresql

$ sudo yum search postgresql server
======================================================== Name & Summary Matched: server, postgresql
=========================================================
postgresql12-server.x86_64 : The programs needed to create and run a PostgreSQL server
postgresql13-server.x86_64 : The programs needed to create and run a PostgreSQL server
postgresql14-server.x86_64 : The programs needed to create and run a PostgreSQL server
postgresql15-server.x86_64 : The programs needed to create and run a PostgreSQL server
postgresql16-server.x86_64 : The programs needed to create and run a PostgreSQL server
