| PostgreSQL is a free
software object-relational database management system (ORDBMS),
released under a BSD-style license. It offers an alternative to other
database systems. Similarly to other free software projects such as
Apache, GNU/Linux, and MediaWiki, PostgreSQL is not controlled by any
single company, but relies on a global community of developers and
companies to develop it. PostgreSQL's unusual-looking name makes some readers pause when trying to pronounce it, especially those who pronounce SQL as "sequel". PostgreSQL's developers pronounce it /po?st ???s kju? ?l/. (Audio sample, 5.6k MP3). It is also common to hear it abbreviated as simply "postgres", which was its original name. The name refers to the project's origins as a "post-Ingres" database, the original authors having also developed the Ingres database. |
