"Best open source relational database for geo location and data migration"
What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

What I like most about PostgreSQL is its open source. Being an open-source relational database, it also provides value to the customer and their users in terms of fast and internal precalculated libraries and functions that help developers and users retrieve data fastly without any hurdle.

Postgresql is also helping us with fast query execution and efficient use of memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

Being an open-source relational database, the area of improvement is its inability to handle large-volume database application support.

Another thing is its limited community or ecosystem compared to premium databases like oracle and SQL servers.

The query execution explanation plan is also not good in PostgreSQL.

Postgresql does not have any run-time debugger, so some time to hard to find the error's root cause. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a downside of the PostgreSQL that it is not able to handle multiple idle connections, it loses the ability for new connections to reconnect. If that can be fixed, it's awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent RDBMS for production systems with minimal cost."
What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

I have used Postgres SQL extensively for the past few years and it is few of cost effective scalable RDBMS that runs very smooth with web applications specially with Django backend. This RDBMS can be tuned for performance quickly and offers amazing support for custom functions.

This RDBMS can be scaled quickly and is available in cloud services like Amazon RDS which can make this database manageable. The error messages in the RDBMS is very clearly laid out and I just love the way it provides flexibility of using custom SQL workbenches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

I have loved my experience with Postgres SQL and the user community for this RDBMS is amazing. I have faced issues in reading documentation for Postgres but online community has always helped in getting my issues resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While merging or blending data from different sources a few times, PostgreSQL lags or fails the first time, which can be a con for the platform, other than all other features work smoothly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Most reliable database"
What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

Reliable: Even when there is no space in disk or with some hardware errors it can recover. Fast --it requires optimizing but it gives the tools to optimize. Open Source. Periodicaly updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me that it uses Sql is a plus. But I guess for people who doesn't know Sql it may be hard, but it iw worth to learn it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
