Pros

“Postgres implements catalog internally, so it stores differently from other RDBMS(s).”

Shaunak P.

Senior Data Engineer

“PostgresSQL is very famous among the data engineering fraternity due to its high resilience and throughput.”

Shaunak P.

Senior Data Engineer

“PgAdmin is best tool to manage the DB with intuitive UI.”

Senior Data Engineer

Pros

“This platform also allows an employee portal to access and get a first hand look at their profile and edit personal information on their own.”

N'dea M.

Human Resources Technician

“The installation of an Oracle database as well as regular updates is still a complex process, especially when one wants to optimize the configuration for the specific application area.”

Patric G.

Developer

“My particular organization uses it for employee data, position management, learning, security, and benefits administration.”

N'dea M.

Human Resources Technician

Cons

“The only problem I faced with Postgres SQL was that API people need column comments, and for a table with huge number of columns like 250-300 fields, it is very hard to update column via SQL query. And there is no provision in Postgres to tag comment to a column with DDL statement.”

Shaunak P.

Senior Data Engineer

“The diagram feature isn't as customizable as I would prefer.”

Leslie H.

Student

“One thing that i dislike from PostgreSQL is it's hard to setup and install PostgreSQL at the beginning.”
