PostgreSQL is an open source object-relational database system with over 15 years of active development and a reputation for reliability. This database management system supports the SQL92 and SQL99 standards and provides a number of own extensions. PostgreSQL is fully ACID-compliant and it includes most SQL:2008 data types, including INTEGER, NUMERIC, BOOLEAN, CHAR, VARCHAR, DATE, INTERVAL, and TIMESTAMP.
Furthermore, this database management system provides interfaces to ODBC and JDBC as well as programming interfaces to a variety of development languages.
PostgreSQL runs stored procedures in more than a dozen programming languages, including Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, C/C++, and its own PL/pgSQL, which is similar to Oracle's PL/SQL. Included with its standard function library are hundreds of built-in functions that range from basic math and string operations to cryptography and Oracle compatibility.
