What do you like best about PostgreSQL?
Postgres data base is light weighted and flexible data base.Recently we have migrated to Postgres and its really easy to develop and maintain.Since it is open source we got advantage to spend money on cloud services to maintain independently.This data base has lot features and we can use for large scale applications.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?
Some of the common SQL language syntax can be maintained without customizations.Some time we feel difficulty to find syntax in online.Otherwise, this DB is better than other open source DB tools.Some times we found some bugs which is related to tags and queries, especially libraries can be improved and documentation can be provided in detail level.

What do you like best about PostgreSQL?
Well, over time MySQL and PostgreSQL have grown closer and closer together, but for the longest time I've enjoyed using postgres over other free open source RDMBS because it had more analytical functions. Postgres has been supporting tricky things like window functions which was always super useful for tricky aggregations for reports.
However, what I like best about postgres is probably the actual documentation that is easily available that includes tons of explanations and examples. This means I can quickly make changes and figure out how to make my application needs work just by myself, even if I've never had to use Postgres or another RDMBS to do that task before.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?
I can't say I dislike anything about postgres. The things that are 'bad' about postgres are what you get for having a relational database that uses hard disk as storage. But those are normal things that honestly don't usually slow you down or hurt your application.
Sometimes I'll use redis for a fast, non-relational in-memory database, but otherwise I always use postgres since it's free, documented well, and a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PostgreSQL?
1. Postgres is open source and free to use.
2. Postgres is Acid compliant and thus no data is lost.
3. Since PostgreSQL supports JSON field which was not supported by Mysql which we were using before, it has become very easy for us to work with JSON data sets. We can easily query JSON fields using Postgres query language.
4. Postgres also has a very strong community, thus it is very easy for new developers to adapt as they can easily find support online Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
