  PostgreSQL
       
           /'post-gres-kyu-el/ An enhancement of the
          POSTGRES database system.
       
          PostgreSQL is an advanced relational database management
          system with some object oriented approaches.  PostgreSQL is
          developed and distributed as free software, and while
          retaining its freedom it remains technically and featurewise a
          worthy competitor to even the most advanced commercial
          alternatives.
       
          It was also one of the first databases to offer MVCC as
          opposed to row-level locking or table locking, thereby
          greatly improving multi-user performance.
       
          PostgreSQL implements an extended subset of ANSI SQL and
          runs on many platforms.  It also has interfaces to many
          different programming languages and database protocols,
          like ODBC and JDBC.
