PostgreSQL is an enterprise-class open source database management system.
What is PostgreSQL?
PostgreSQL is an enterprise-class open source database management system. It supports both SQL for relational and JSON for non-relational queries. It is backed by an experienced community of developers who have made tremendous contribution to make it highly reliable DBMS system. PostgreSQL supports advanced data types and advance performance optimization, features only available in the expensive commercial database, like Oracle and SQL Server.
Key features of PostgreSQL:
Client-server network architecture support
Platforms compatibility & Point-in-time recovery
Sophisticated locking mechanism
Multi-version concurrency control (MVCC)
Nested transactions (savepoints)
Asynchronous replication
Mature Server-Side Programming
Compliant with the ANSI SQL standard
Log-based and trigger-based replication SSL
Standby server and high availability
Support for JSON allows linking with other data stores like NoSQL
Why PostgreSQL?
The excellent features that PostgreSQL has to offer that make it stand out from the rest of the others.
Multi-version concurrency control
Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC) is an advanced technique for improving database performance in a multi-user environment. So while querying a database each transaction sees a snapshot of data (a database version) as it was some time ago, regardless of the current state of the underlying data. This protects the transaction from viewing inconsistent data.
Security Features
Its promising security features also set it apart from other DBMS. It extends full support for SSL, database encryption, single-sign-on, and lets you manage users, roles, etc. as per the needs of the project. It also offers a sophisticated locking mechanism.
Unparalleled Performance
It provides advanced locking mechanisms, tablespaces, partitioned tables, and many different types of indices. It can also run parallel queries and offers advanced cost-based query optimization.
Extensibility
You can define your own data types, index types, functional languages, etc. If you don’t like any part of the system, you can always develop a custom plugin to enhance it to meet your requirements.
What else with PostgreSQL?
Compatibility
PostgreSQL is compatible with various platforms and all major languages. Apart from this, it also supports JSON and can be linked with other databases such as SQL & NoSQL, etc.
Replication
It can be used for synchronous/asynchronous, logical/physical, log-based/trigger-based, and partial replication. One of its best features is point-in-time-recovery.
Geo-Tagging
It can be used to store geospatial data as it supports geographic objects so it can efficiently manage location-based services and geographical information systems.
