Why is PostgreSQL different?

PostgreSQL is an object-relational database, while MySQL is purely relational. This means PostgreSQL offers more complex data types and allows objects to inherit properties, but it also makes working with PostgreSQL more complex. PostgreSQL has a single, ACID-compliant storage engine.

Why is Postgres better than others?

Postgres inherently performs better due to its concurrent support for write operations without the need for read/write locks. It is also fully ACID compliant and implements transaction isolation and snapshots. On the other hand, MySQL tries to achieve concurrency with the use of write locks.

What is good about PostgreSQL?

It is an advanced open-source object-relational system which applies SQL language. Postgres allows you to store large and sophisticated data safely. It helps developers to build the most complex applications, run administrative tasks and create integral environments.
