PostgreSQL is a sophisticated Object-Relational DBMS, supporting almost all SQL constructs, including subselects, transactions, and user-defined types and functions. It is the most advanced open-source database available anywhere. Commercial Support is also available from PostgreSQL, Inc. The current version is 6.5.1 and is available at any of the many mirror sites or on CD.

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group is proud to announce that we have received the 'LinuxWorld Editors Choice Award' for The Best Database Management System!

The Linux Developer's Network (http://linuxdev.net) recently ran a poll of the most popular DBMS among Linux developers. Out of a total of 1549 votes, PostgreSQL held the lead from the first day and finished in first with it's closest competitor (MySQL) trailing by over 200 votes.
