PostgreSQL Introduction (Linux Productivity Magazine)

[Posted January 8, 2003 by cook]

Linux Productivity Magazine has a lengthy introduction to the PostgreSQL database available online. "PostgreSQL, often nicknamed "Postgres", offers SQL query support. It offers a high power command line front end called psql for a DBA to manage the database. It has excellent transactional support. Sophisiticated triggers and stored procedures are available thanks to the built in plpgsql programming language."
