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.

"Easy to use and no brand name cost"
What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

The product is very similar to the large scale

Brand name product. It functions and works the same and does not Cost nearly as much. If you know SQL, the slight variations on la gauge from MSSQL will be no issue at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

There was a small learning curve due to some language structure changes. But nothing that is difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Performant and scalable"
What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

Uses a large subset of standard SQL. Transactional and enterprise-ready. Used a lot, by a lot of companies and people; any problem you have has probably already been solved. Should be familiar to anyone familiar with any other SQL-based RDBMS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

Esoteric management commands like \du are weird and hard to remember. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Convenient tool for end users"
What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

Used PostgreSQL for more than 4 years on 2 different jobs. Convenient and easy to learn. All main stream functionalities are there. No fancy add-ons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

When I used the software it did not support tabbed query editor, so I had to switch query windows fairly frequently, adding a little difficulty to use. Now I guess they must have changed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
