What PostgreSQL is

PostgreSQL is a powerful, free, open‑source relational database management system (RDBMS) known for reliability, extensibility, and strong SQL standards compliance. It is often called Postgres and is widely used for everything from small applications to large data warehouses.

Why PostgreSQL is popular

1. Strong SQL compliance and advanced features like materialized views, triggers, and stored procedures.
2. MVCC (Multi‑Version Concurrency Control) for high concurrency without heavy locking.
3. JSON & JSONB support, making it suitable for both relational and semi‑structured data.
4. Large ecosystem of tools, extensions, and community support.
