Description

PostgreSQL is a powerful, open source object-relational database system. It has more than 15 years of active development and a proven architecture that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, data integrity, and correctness. It runs on all major operating systems, including Linux, UNIX (AIX, BSD, HP-UX, SGI IRIX, Mac OS X, Solaris, Tru64), and Windows. It is fully ACID compliant, has full support for foreign keys, joins, views, triggers, and stored procedures (in multiple languages). It includes most SQL:
008 data types, including INTEGER, NUMERIC, BOOLEAN, CHAR, VARCHAR, DATE, INTERVAL, and TIMESTAMP. It also supports storage of binary large objects, including pictures, sounds, or video. It has native programming interfaces for C/C++, Java, .Net, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, ODBC, among others, and exceptional documentation.

An enterprise class database, PostgreSQL boasts sophisticated features such as Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC), point in time recovery, tablespaces, asynchronous replication, nested transactions (savepoints), online/hot backups, a sophisticated query planner/optimizer, and write ahead logging for fault tolerance. It supports international character sets, multibyte character encodings, Unicode, and it is locale-aware for sorting, case-sensitivity, and formatting. It is highly scalable both in the sheer quantity of data it can manage and in the number of concurrent users it can accommodate. There are active PostgreSQL systems in production environments that manage in excess of 4 terabytes of data.

it's a very good database management system. it has great features and flexible options, even though the syntax is strict enough to provide correct security and reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I guess it could use some easier user management queries but it's ok. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PostgreSQL:

know your sql, and not just mysql. use the documentations and the latest verions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PostgreSQL solving and how is that benefiting you?

we needed a 100% reliable database system for our semi-cold data. so we went with the most reliable of all, even if we may sacrifice some performances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Database"

5/5

What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

This is an amazing database! Not only is it reliable but It has great features that make it easy to store data and use multiple languages. It's easy to customize and I love that it is compatible with Linux as that is what I primarily use. Also, it is great that there is a community still involved in this software who are able to teach new (or even experienced) people using PostgreSQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

I've had some issues with PostgreSQL running a little slow and I'm not a huge fan of all of the syntax, as some of it seems a bit counterintuitive. As a result, I think it is pretty difficult to use as a beginner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PostgreSQL Review 2019"

5/5

What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

The fact it is an open source database which means its free to use.

Postgre has multiple updates a month, making it ever improving to be the best database software possible.

PostgreSQL's query optimizer is far superior to many others it makes retrieving information and the data you need almost instantaneous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

It's takes awhile to load due to using all allocated resources from your computer.

It's also causes computers to crash depending on the size of the database(mind you these are older computers/laptops using not the best of processors). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PostgreSQL:

I would recommend Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PostgreSQL solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows us to grab out clients information in a matter of seconds.

It also allows us to update delete and insert new customers as the click of a mouse no query writing, saving time and giving us more time to devote to our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Best RDBMS Available"

5/5

What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

PostgreSQL is a high-performing, robust, stable, and fully-featured RDBMS. It is highly-extensible via a wide variety of languages. It has all of the features of any of the leading commercial databases, for a slight fraction to none of the cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

Literally nothing - there is nothing about PostgreSQL that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PostgreSQL:

Just use it. Don't let the Open Source nature of the software scare you - it's a completely robust and stable solution. Do make sure that you treat it as you would any other RDBMS, particularly when it comes to doing proper backup. Several vendors have tried to use PostgreSQL as some sort of "embedded" database, and bad things result. It isn't the fault of PostgreSQL, it's how you use the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PostgreSQL solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reducing reliance on Commercial databases, and opening platform support to a wider range of platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I have used it in both client-server implementations where it is used to store data for a single com"

This is an amazing database! It works extremely fast for applications including very complex queries as well

They provide one of most complete and precise documentation in the open source market and even compared with a few proprietary projects. Not only is it reliable but It has great features that make it easy to store data and use multiple languages. PostgreSQL is a great open source relational database system so it helps keep your data in one place and normalized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PostgreSQL can provide richer auditing options as the current options are enough for few large enterprises Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PostgresSQL with Greenplum"

4/5

What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

The greenplum database running PostgreSQL is a good database for large workloads that run on massively parallel databases like Greenplum. I can distribute the tables by a certain column identifier and be able to link different tables together for efficient workloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

I dislike the PGAdmin III interface which is made for PostgreSQL developers because it's an old program and the new one, PGAdmin 4 does not support older versions of PostgreSQL databases. Version compatibility is a big deal and my company still uses the older version of PostgreSQL so I am stuck with using an older version of the application to manage the database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PostgreSQL:

For companies considering PostgreSQL, you need to seriously consider the backend provider whether it be Greenplum/Pivotal or Amazon, you must make the proper selection that will be sufficient for the data that you are working with. With Amazon Web Services, it becomes price efficient to run these databases in the cloud at a reasonable cost with great efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PostgreSQL solving and how is that benefiting you?

PostgreSQL has been able to help us conduct data quality operations and archive data in an efficient manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PostGreSQL always works"

5/5

What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

PostGreSQL is fast with very slow latencies and is available on most of the clouds. I find it's SQL flavor, particularly amenable to my style of coding and easy to interface to natural query.

It is robust and always works, without crashing and easily distributable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

It is not yet extended to a NoSQL formulation and has limitations on blob objects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PostgreSQL:

I would definitely recommend PostGRE, to anyone needing an honest, high performing and reliable database. Botlibre, a company I work with uses postgre for all its bots and it is robust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PostgreSQL solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have used postgre for medical records and for hosting compressed archives on my local server. I now use it as a plan B on AWS RDS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
