What is PostgreSQL?

02/21/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

PostgreSQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS) based on an open source platform that supports an extension of SQL (Structured Query Language). It has been a popular RDBMS for many years and has an active community of developers and users.

PostgreSQL offers a wide range of features, including transaction support, ACID compliance, the ability to run complex queries, and store and retrieve data in a very efficient manner. It is also very scalable and can run on a variety of platforms, including Linux, Windows and macOS.

One of the notable features of PostgreSQL is its ability to create custom functions and stored procedures that allow developers to execute complex business logic within the database itself. It is also capable of integrating with other programming languages such as Python, Java and C++.

PostgreSQL is a powerful RDBMS and is used in many applications and industries, including financial services, e-commerce, government and education.
