What is PostgreSQL?
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).

PostgreSQL: The Go-To Choice for Data Management
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates PostgreSQL from other similar products?
PostgreSQL is easy to use and supports a wide variety of data types, making it highly versatile and user-friendly.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite aspect of PostgreSQL is its versatility and support for a wide range of data types. It handles complex queries efficiently and provides advanced features like JSON support, making it an excellent choice for both structured and semi-structured data.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The stored procedure feature in PostgreSQL is not as robust or user-friendly as that of Microsoft SQL Server. It lacks some advanced capabilities and ease of use, which can make complex procedure development and management more cumbersome.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I would recommend PostgreSQL to anyone looking for a reliable and highly versatile database solution, especially for applications requiring complex queries or support for diverse data types. However, if you heavily rely on advanced stored procedures or need simple replication setups, you might want to evaluate whether its features meet your specific needs.
