Description

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). It includes most SQL:2008 data types, including INTEGER, NUMERIC, BOOLEAN, CHAR, VARCHAR, DATE, INTERVAL, and TIMESTAMP. It also supports storage of binary large objects, including pictures, sounds, or video. It has native programming interfaces for C/C++, Java, .Net, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, ODBC, among others, and exceptional documentation.

Great performance, suberb manual, many features, stable ... if only it had an "insert or update".

Clearly the best open source RDBMS available. I've never seen a Sybase/MSSQL/Oracle based project that could not use PostgreSQL instead. Much appreciated is the amazingly complete documentation (and the focus there on the compatibility with SQL standard).

For many years support on Windows was rather poor but things are clearly improving. Also, the replication is now a fully integrated feature.
