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.

"PostgreSQL is an excellent alternative"
What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

Features, Open-Source, Extensibility, Programing Languages support, easy to install and maintain.

We are switching from Oracle and SQL Server to PostgreSQL for different use cases like Web development using .NET, Java and PHP, also we switch our Control-M application from Oracle to PostgreSQL too with and excelent result.

The short experience until now is awsome because the developers and DBAs dont suffered the change and the database performance for our use cases is really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

I would like more features for auditing because the current solutions for audit actions and events doesn't meet our requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
