PostgreSQL Hosting

PostgreSQL also referred to as Postgres, is a free and open source relational database management system (RDBMS), it strongly emphasizes flexibility and SQL conformance. PostgreSQL’s abilities of object-relational database systems combine the SQL language with several capabilities to reliably store and grow even the most challenging data demands. With over 30 years of continuous development, PostgreSQL has built a solid reputation for dependability, durability, feature robustness, and performance!

Because of its well-proven architecture, dependability, data integrity, extensive feature set, extensibility, and the commitment of the open source community behind the program to continually delivering performant and cutting-edge solutions, PostgreSQL has established a solid reputation. Since 2001, PostgreSQL has been ACID-compliant and is compatible with all main operating systems. It also features robust add-ons like the well-liked PostGIS geographical database extension. It is not surprising that many individuals and organizations now use PostgreSQL as their open-source relational database of choice.

PostgreSQL’s main selling point is its triggers, materialized views, foreign keys, stored procedures, automatically updatable views, and transactions. With Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability (ACID) attributes. From single workstations to data warehouses or Web services with many concurrent users, it is made to manage a variety of workloads. It is accessible on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD in addition to being the default database for macOS servers.

PostgreSQL history

PostgreSQL is a replacement for the Ingres database created at the University of California, Berkeley, it was initially known as POSTGRES. The project's name was changed to PostgreSQL in 1996 to better represent its SQL support. The POSTGRES project's objective was to offer the bare minimum of capabilities required to accommodate various data formats. The development team opted to preserve the names PostgreSQL and Postgres following a review in 2007. PostgreSQL hosting was initially intended to operate on UNIX-like systems. PostgreSQL was then developed and was made to work on several operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Solaris.

PostgreSQL features

Manageable: Numerous capabilities in PostgreSQL hosting are designed to support developers in creating applications, administrators in safeguarding data integrity and creating fault-tolerant systems, and you in managing your data regardless of the size of the dataset. PostgreSQL is the major data store for internet-scale applications, solutions, and products used by both startups and established businesses.

Versatile: PostgreSQL is not only open source and free, but it is also very extendable. You can create new functions, specify your data types, and even write code in several programming languages without having to recompile your database!

SQL support: The majority of the SQL standard's essential capabilities are supported, but occasionally with slightly different syntax or functionality. Ongoing progress in this direction can be anticipated. As of the September 2021 version 14 release, PostgreSQL complies with at least 170 of the 179 requirements for SQL.

Multiversion concurrency control (MVCC): This provides each transaction with a "snapshot" of the database and enables modifications to be made without impacting other transactions, which is how PostgreSQL controls concurrency. As a result, read locks are largely unnecessary and the ACID properties of the database are maintained. Three types of transaction isolation are available in PostgreSQL: Read Committed, Repeatable Read, and Serializable. Requesting a Read Uncommitted transaction isolation level results in reading committed since PostgreSQL is resistant to dirty reads. Through the use of the serializable snapshot isolation (SSI) technique, PostgreSQL offers full serializability.

Geographic advantage: PostgreSQL supports geographic objects and can be used as a geographical database for location-based services and geographic information systems when combined with the PostGIS extension (GIS).

JSON and LAPP capabilities: PostgreSQL can connect with other data stores, including NoSQL kinds, and serve as a federated hub for polyglot database systems thanks to its Foreign Data Wrappers and JSON compatibility. Its LAPP (Linux, Apache, PostgreSQL, PHP, Python, and Perl), qualities are a reliable alternative to the LAMP stack, you can run dynamic websites and apps.

Support: Linux, UNIX, AIX, BSD, HP-UX, SGI IRIX, Mac OS X, Solaris, Tru64, and Windows are all supported by PostgreSQL. It features programming interfaces for C/C++, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, and Open Database Connectivity and supports text, graphics, audio, and video!
