About:
PostgreSQL 18 is a powerful, open-source object-relational database system known for its reliability, feature robustness, and performance. It supports advanced data types, transactional integrity, and extensibility, making it suitable for complex applications. This versioned formula allows users to install and run PostgreSQL 18 alongside other versions on the same system.
Key Features:
  • ACID-compliant transactions and data integrity
  • Advanced indexing (B-tree, GiST, SP-GiST, GIN, BRIN)
  • Extensible with custom functions and data types
  • Robust replication and high availability support
Use Cases:
  • Back-end development for web and mobile applications
  • Data warehousing and business intelligence analytics
  • Storing and querying complex, structured datasets
Alternatives:
  • mysql – MySQL is often faster for read-heavy workloads, while PostgreSQL offers stricter SQL compliance and more advanced features.
  • sqlite – SQLite is a serverless, file-based database ideal for embedded use, whereas PostgreSQL is a full client-server system for scalable applications.
