PostgreSQL is a mature, open source object-relational database management system supporting an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, triggers, user-defined types, and extensibility via extensions like PostGIS. This repository is a read-only GitHub mirror of the official PostgreSQL git repository; contributions go through the PostgreSQL community process, not pull requests.
Use cases
- self-host a relational database for my web application
- store and query JSON documents alongside relational data
- run ACID-compliant transactions for financial data
- add geospatial queries with PostGIS
- set up replication and backups for a production database
- build from source to develop database extensions
When to choose
- you need a reliable, feature-rich open source relational database with strong SQL standards conformance
- you need advanced features like partitioning, materialized views, full-text search, or custom data types
- you want a database that runs on all major operating systems with decades of proven stability
When to avoid
- you want to contribute code via GitHub pull requests - this is a mirror only
- you need a lightweight embedded database for a small single-user app
- you prefer a managed NoSQL document store without SQL
