In this article I will be sharing the benefits of using PostgreSQL as database. So let's just get started...
Introduction
PostrgreSQL is a free and open-source advanced relational database system. It supports relational as well as non-relational (JSON) queries.
Let's look at some of the advantages of PostrgreSQL which makes it standout from other databases.
Advantages
- PostrgreSQL is flexible solution with extension which can cover every potential use case. You can even write your own extension if you have a very particular requirement such as support for a data type or some special logging functionality.
- PostrgreSQL can be used as both relational database management system (SQL) or as a NOSQL database solution such as storing the JSON documents. This flexibility of PostrgreSQL can reduce the cost. Using single database management system means that it cut the cost of managing, setting up and updating multiple database solutions. All can be done from a single place.
- For critical productions such as hospitals, government agencies and financial firms, the privately supported solutions of PostrgreSQL can be used. These versions of PostrgreSQL provides additional security features, high-availability and resiliency.
So above mentioned are some of the benefits of using PostgreSQL.
