This database supported cross-platform like Linux, UNIX, and Windows. It provides the support of joins, foreign keys, views, triggers, and stored procedures. It supports different data types like integers, numeric, Boolean, char, varchar, interval, date, timestamp, etc. It also supported binary large objects like sounds, pictures, and video. PostgreSQL provides different features to their users such as a point in time recovery, MVCC, tablespaces, nested transactions, sophisticated query planner, asynchronous replication, etc. It supports multi-byte character encoding, Unicode, and international character sets.
OpenStack
OpenStack is an open-source cloud computing software platform solution. It has been used to control the resources of computing, networking, and storage through data center and it can be managed through OpenStack API or dashboard. Usually, users use this solution infrastructure as a service(IaaS). It is managed by OpenStack Foundation, it released under the Apache License and written in Python.
