PostgreSQL 8.3 Databases
What's the purpose of PostgreSQL databases? What are their advantages? What can they do for your web site?
PostgreSQL is a sophisticated relational database administration system, which can be used on many platforms (UNIX, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris, Windows) and with many scripting languages (Perl, PHP, Python, Java, Ruby). Due to the fact that it is open-source, it could be freely modified to suit the demands of any developer who uses it. PostgreSQL is also one of the most efficient and secure database systems, with significantly better performance in handling sophisticated operations when compared with similar systems. It's well suited for large-scale apps since a single PostgreSQL database doesn't have a limit for the size, while a single table can be up to 32 Gigabytes. It is not a surprise that lots of business, educational and governmental entities are already using PostgreSQL - Skype, the University of California, Berkeley and the US Department of Labor being a few examples.
