PostgreSQL is an advanced relational database management system, that you can use on a number of platforms (UNIX, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris, Windows) and with many scripting languages (Perl, PHP, Python, Java, Ruby). As it's open-source, it can be effortlessly modified to match the demands of any developer who uses it. PostgreSQL is also among the most trusted and secure database systems, with better efficiency in managing complex operations compared with similar systems. It's well suited for large-scale applications as a single PostgreSQL database does not have a limit for the size, while a single table could be up to 32 GB. It is not a surprise that lots of business, educational and government entities are already using PostgreSQL - Skype, the University of California, Berkeley and the US Department of Labor being a few examples.
PostgreSQL 8.3 Databases in Hosting
You may use apps that need PostgreSQL databases with each hosting plan that we provide. The amount of databases that you can have at one time ranges and with some packages you will need to acquire an optional upgrade, while with others the number is between 5 and unlimited by default. In case you ever need more databases compared to what the package you have picked features, you could upgrade this feature through the Upgrades section of your Control Panel. Provided you have a free slot, you can create a new PostgreSQL database with a few mouse clicks in the Databases section of your account and from the same location you could also access phpPgAdmin - a feature-rich tool which will provide you with 100 % control over your databases and it'll allow you to export or import an entire database or just part of it without any difficulty.
