About:
PostgreSQL 12 is a powerful, open-source object-relational database system known for its reliability and feature robustness. This version introduced significant performance improvements, including improved table partitioning and generated column support. It is an excellent choice for applications requiring complex data workloads and strong transactional integrity.
Key Features:
  • ACID-compliant transaction processing
  • Advanced indexing (B-tree, GiST, SP-GiST, GIN, BRIN)
  • Robust foreign key and join support
  • Stored procedures and functions (PL/pgSQL)
  • JSON support and native data types
Use Cases:
  • Back-end database for web applications
  • Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) systems
  • Complex data analysis and reporting
Alternatives:
  • postgresql@13 – Newer version with logical replication improvements and performance enhancements.
  • mysql – Simpler configuration but lacks advanced features like table functions and richer indexing options.
  • sqlite – Serverless and file-based, better for embedded systems but not for high-concurrency network applications.
