But why PostgreSQL? Why not any other open source DBMS like MySQL or MariaDB?
The reason is - PostgreSQl is the most advanced open source database management system that are available today. It is - ORDBMS, that is object relation database management system.
PostgreSQL is the best tool as it is available for free and it is open. It will never be bought. Its source code is available under PostgreSQL license which is a liberal open source license. You are free to use, modify and distribute PostgreSQL in any form.
Moreover, PostgreSQL comes with many features aimed to help developers build applications. It also helps administrators to protect data integrity and build fault-tolerant environments. It is extensible. For example, you can define your own data types, build custom functions or even write code from different programming languages without recompiling your database.
Also, because of the advanced features and powerful capabilities, the adoption of PostgreSQL is increasing widely in the market since past few years. It requires very minimum maintenance efforts because of its stability. Therefore, applications based on PostgreSQL have a low total cost of ownership in comparison with other database management systems.
Just look at these numbers.
According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of database administrators is projected to grow 11 percent from 2016 to 2026, faster than the average for all occupations. Growth in this occupation will be driven by the increased data needs of companies across the economy.
According to indeed company, average salary for PostgreSQL DBA is $94,611 per year.

PostgreSQL is object-relational database management system and has a lot of capability. It is built using an object-relational model and supports complex structures and a range of built-in and user-defined data types. It provides extensive data capacity.
Moreover postgreSQL is trusted for its data integrity. PostgreSQL is fully ACID that is - atomicity, consistency, isolation and durability compliant and therefore ideal for Online Transaction Processing workloads as well as for analytics.
The lack of PostgreSQL expertise is the number one challenge today. There is a shortage of PostgreSQL professionals today. Database administrators’ job is projected to grow 11 percent from 2016 to 2026, faster than the average for all occupations.
As the statistics and figures show – there is an advancement in technology is rapidly expanding into our lives each and every day, meaning even though you may not be directly using any of this right now, sooner or later you will run into it inevitably.
