PostgreSQL on cloud is a powerful, open source object-relational database system. It has more than 15 years of active development and a proven architecture that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, data integrity and correctness. It runs on all major operating systems, including Linux, UNIX (AIX, BSD, HP-UX, SGI IRIX, Mac OS X, Solaris, Tru64) and Windows.

PostgreSQL on cloud is fully ACID compliant, has full support for foreign keys, joins, views, triggers and stored procedures (in multiple languages). It includes most SQL:2008 data types, including INTEGER, NUMERIC, BOOLEAN, CHAR, VARCHAR, DATE, INTERVAL and TIMESTAMP. PostgreSQL on cloud also supports storage of binary large objects, including pictures, sounds, or video.

PostgreSQL is owned by PostgreSQL (www.postgresql.org) and they own all related trademarks and IP rights for this software.

Cognosys provides hardened images of PostgreSQL on all public cloud ( AWS marketplace and Azure).
Deploy your PostgreSQL securely on cloud i.e. AWS marketplace and Azure with Reliable Services offered by Cognosys at one-click with easy written and video tutorials.

Installation

Major Features of PostgreSQL

1. Data integrity features include (compound) primary keys, foreign keys with restricting and cascading updates/deletes, check constraints, unique constraints and not null constraints.
2.  PostgreSQL supports compound, unique, partial and functional indexes which can use any of its B-tree, R-tree, hash, or GiST storage methods.
3. Other advanced features include table inheritance, a rules systems and database events. Table inheritance puts an object oriented slant on table creation, allowing database designers to derive new tables from other tables, treating them as base classes. Even better, PostgreSQL supports both single and multiple inheritance in this manner.
