An Introduction to the PostgreSQL Database System

PostgreSQL is a powerful, open source relational database system. PostgreSQL's source code is available under the BSD open source license.

PostgreSQL has proved itself to be an incredibly reliable database, enabling a very high level of data integrity and correctness. It runs on all the major operating systems such as Linux, UNIX (Mac OS X, Solaris etc...), and Windows.

It is fully ACID compliant, proving itself to be a DBMS that can maintain proper Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability in its transactions.

PostgreSQL is highly scalable in the quantity of data it can manage as well as the number of concurrent users it can deal with.

Some useful books to help you get started with PostgreSQL have been listed below:
