PostgreSQL is a powerful and trusted relational database management system (DBMS), currently installed at over 20,000 sites worldwide. Advanced during the last 25 years at UC Berkeley and in the open source community, PostgreSQL has most of the features present in commercial DBMS's, like transactions, subselects, triggers, views, foreign key referential integrity, and sophisticated locking. PostgreSQL also contains other advanced features like user-defined types, inheritance, rules, and multi-version concurrency control to reduce lock contention.
Red Hat Database gives you the performance you'd expect from database management systems costing a lot more, including these features:
- Database Object: multiple index types, materialised views, large object support
- SQL-Related: triggers, referential integrity, joins (inner/outer/left/right), OLAP, scrollable cursor functionality, SQL 92 level compliance
- Database Recovery: online backup, rollback, row/column locking, native database backup and restore
- Utilities: importing/exporting data, GUI/text installer, Java-JDC/JSQL/stored procedures, ODBC/JDBC interface
And, of course, there is complete documentation and unlimited installation/configuration customer and technical support for 30 days for both Red Hat Linux and Red Hat Database.
