PostgreSQL is a high level relational database control system, that you can use on many platforms (UNIX, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris, Windows) and with many different scripting languages (Perl, PHP, Python, Java, Ruby). Since it's open-source, it could be freely modified to match the needs of any developer who works with it. PostgreSQL is also amongst the the most trusted and secure database systems, with far better functionality in handling complicated operations when compared with similar systems. It is well suited for large-scale applications because a single PostgreSQL database doesn't have a limit for the size, while one table can be up to 32 Gigabytes. It is not surprising that a number of business, academic and governmental entities are already using PostgreSQL - Skype, the University of California, Berkeley and the US Department of Labor being just a couple of examples.
