help in postgresql
Hello sir,
I am fresher for working as DB-Admin and also beginner for
postgresql database. I have bit of knowledge about Oracle.
So, I have some of the questions about postgres. i.e. Is postgresql store
huge amount of data like oracle? Most organizations use oracle database, why
use postgresql? and so on. So, please Can you explain me the difference
between oracle and postgres? How the postgresql is beneficial then oracle
and other databases?
Please help me to being familiar with postgresql.
Regards,
karuna karpe.
Just use postgresql wiki, postgresql documentation, and few sites who
compare postgresql and oracle.
Both are good database systems, postgresql is open source and free, runs on
most platforms, easy to install and manage than oracle, supports very large
database.

It's generally easier to respond to more specific questions. What
is "huge"? Our shop has a database of over 2 TB backing this web
site:
I know there are PostgreSQL databases much larger than that.
why use postgresql?
It has a lot of features not present in any other database product.
Performance is very good and steadily improving. In my opinion it
is the most stable and reliable database product available. Support
for PostgreSQL easily beats support I've seen for any other product.
How the postgresql is beneficial then oracle and other databases?
When we moved to PostgreSQL it saved us a lot of money every year in
support and license fees, while improving up-time and simplifying
backup and maintenance procedures.
Please help me to being familiar with postgresql.
I recommend you download a copy and try it out. Don't be shy about
asking questions, but remember to provide enough context and detail
that people can provide useful responses without having to guess too
much.
