A robust relational databases management system (RDBMS)


PostgreSQL is one of the best management databases systems, particularly in terms of storage and massive data insertions. It comes from POSTGRES, a creation from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Berkeley in California.


You can choose between MySQL and PostgreSQL for your databases directly from your Manager. OVH offers version 8.4 on its shared hosting offers.






This type of RDBMS is particularly suited to scientific calculations

Made for Professionals


Advanced features for the standard SQL:


  • complex request (recursive for example),
  • triggers,
  • views,
  • transactional integrity with competing version controls,
  • XML data type,
  • column value constraints (SQL CHECK),
  • etc.


Features unique to PostgreSQL:


In general, PostgreSQL offers data integrity stronger than MySQL. In addition, many types of data are also at your fingertips (tables, XML, etc.). You can even create your own data types, or create your own functions to build specific queries.


The Plug-ins allow you to have data types prepared by experts, and PostgreSQL also offers a powerful and scalable indexing engine that allows you to accelerate the search queries of your applications ...


This type of RDBMS is particularly suited to scientific calculations and statistics, financial applications or detailed management of transactions
