PostgreSQL, also known as Postgres, is a highly popular and robust SQL database management system (DBMS). Developed as an open-source software, it has gained immense popularity since its inception in 1996, building upon the foundation laid by earlier software in the 1980s.
As a comprehensive and feature-rich general-purpose relational database, PostgreSQL offers extensive support for the SQL standard. Moreover, it incorporates an array of unique features that make it an exceptional tool for database management.
