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.

"robust and stable"
What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

easy to use, one of the best database managers to develop complex applications, apart from being robust and simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

It is usually very basic, it would require more functionalities to be of this tool, a more complete tool, additionally the installation is usually somewhat tedious as it requires certain dependencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Awesome Tool!"
What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

The best things I like about PostgreSQL is all the functions and tools it provides to perform fast querying and calculations. Also I actually love how it integrates with other tools such as Postgis, that we used it to draw polygons and check if certain coordinates where inside these or not. It worked incredibly fast. Finally I love psql, is my goto tool, really fast to open a new connection to a database and perform queries right away over this one. I also love that the tool is open source, I'm a big supporter of that Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

I don't dislike much about it, just that sometimes the querying is kind of slow when you are trying to get loads of data out of the db. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Alternative to traditional Commercial Databases"
What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

PostgreSQL has grown in both popularity and features. It is now on par with many of the commercial database servers. Because of its popularity, if you need commercial support, you can find it. If you can go it all alone, you can save you (and your company money). It is available for many OSes to suite your needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

Windows support has lagged behind Linux/Unix for a number of years. Some of the tooling feels weird when you run it on Windows. I think if they want better adoption on Windows, they should create native (non-cli) tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable and Configurable Relational DB"

Nothing in particular but one of the cons of this database is that it is not meant to handle large volumes of data effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and easy to use"
What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

I like how simple this software is. It doesn't try to get you with a fancy UI or anything crazy intricate. it's straight forward and it is easy to use for anyone who has SQL experience. Whether in the classroom or at the workplace, it's a really great program for database work. It's user friendly in the sense that is is basic and easy. It may not have all the bells and whistles of other software but that's kind of what I like about it. The output pane when doing queries is nice and simple to read. it's easy to make sure you can see all of the data you need to see in your databases. I also like that the SQL editor gives you color differences on the words so you know that you are entering the correct information. It will come up red if it thinks something is wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

It's hard to tell sometimes which DB on your server you are in, as it doesn't highlight it very well. It also is somewhat annoying to have to open a separate screen for actually running SQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
