About PostgreSQL - Open Source Database
PostgreSQL is the world's most advanced Open Source database. (It's pronounced "Post-gres-Q-L", and often just called "Postgres".) Read more about PostgreSQL's 15-year history of active development here.
Specifically designed for high-volume requirements, PostgreSQL is extremely responsive and its reliability is legendary. Read more about the many advantages that PostgreSQL can offer your business or organization over other types of database systems here.
Because it's featureful, standards compliant and highly customizable, PostgreSQL has won several industry awards as "best DBMS." Read more about these awards here.
PostgreSQL provides new and unique functionality that goes way beyond the traditional relational-database feature set. It's an enterprise class open source database software with sophisticated features. Read more about the PostgreSQL feature matrix here.
Performance and Technical Features
PostgreSQL matches the performance and technical features of Oracle. Examples: PostgreSQL supports core constraints and is fully ACID compliant – the same as Oracle. Read the list of technical features here.
Case Studies and Users
PostgreSQL can solve specific business needs for a complex open source DBMS infrastructure. Read more about how companies and organizations worldwide use PostgreSQL here.
Many companies and organizations have used PostgreSQL to build products, solutions, website and tools. Read more about these users here.
Costs
You get more for your money with PostgreSQL. It's a free open source database. Read historical information about how PostgreSQL came to be both free and open source here.
There's no licensing fee. Read more about how PostgreSQL is released here.
It's also DBA friendly, so departments can create and support their own PostgreSQL database if they have the interest and the right skills set. PostgreSQL software has much lower maintenance and tuning requirements than the leading proprietary database vendors.
