PostgreSQL is a good option as an object-related database since it's free it is very convenient for us to request management to use it. One can use it for data storage and analysis both. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?
Some features are missing which we can find in other database systems.
If I compare MYSQL and PostgreSQL in terms of optimization help through explain plan than MYSQL provides a more readable way than Postgre, after reading the MYSQL plan one can change its query to optimize it very easily while it's a bit difficult in Postgre explain plan.

What do you like best about PostgreSQL?
The thing I like most about PostgreSQL is that it has a dedicated database connection for all the fremwork. PostgreSQL has a reliable dependency for spring boot. It makes it easy to connect PostgreSQL to the backend and perform various operations through coding. When you compare it with other alternatives, it offers many features and, most importantly, provides up-to-date security. One more thing I like about PostgreSQL is its large support community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?
To perform database-related tasks, you must have proper knowledge of PostgreSQL documentation. For fresher, it will be challenging to understand complex things in the documentation. One thing I noticed while using PostgreSQL was it becomes slow while handling huge transactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
