PostgreSQL Installation and Configuration

Also referred to as Postgres, PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system with emphasis on extensibility and standards compliance.

PostgreSQL can handle workloads ranging from small single-machine applications to large Internet-facing applications, or for data warehousing, with many concurrent users. PostgreSQL is ACID-compliant and transactional. PostgreSQL has updatable views and materialized views, triggers, foreign keys, supports functions and stored procedures, and offers other expandability.

PostgreSQL is developed by the PostgreSQL Global Development Group, a diverse group of many companies and individual contributors. It is free and open-source, released under the terms of the PostgreSQL License, a permissive software license. For more information, visit https://www.postgresql.org/.
