JumpBox for PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL is a highly effective relational database system that has been in active development for more than 15 years. This is an enterprise-grade database with advanced features that include MVCC (Multi-Version Concurrency Control), point in time recovery, tablespaces, asynchronous replication, nested transactions (savepoints), and online/hot backups. Moreover, PostgreSQL has a highly sophisticated planner/optimizer for query execution and write-ahead logging that enables fault tolerance.

This software provides support for multibyte character encoding that includes international character sets and Unicode support. Additionally, PostgreSQL is locale-aware for case-sensitivity, formatting, and sorting, making it one of the most versatile platforms out there. PostgreSQL has a comprehensive SQL implementation that strictly adheres to the ANSI-SQL 92/99 standards, which makes it a highly reliable platform to work with.

The JumpBox packaged with the PostgreSQL 8 version also includes PHPPgAdmin set up and ready to run in no time. You won't have to exasperate yourself with server software deployment, as JumpBox takes all the pain out of this process. With JumpBox, you get a single virtual appliance that has all the necessary dependencies, software, and application data to deploy locally, or on popular virtualization and cloud platforms like VMware, Xen, Parallels, Virtual Iron, Microsoft Virtualization, and Amazon EC2.

In conclusion, PostgreSQL is a reliable and highly efficient database platform for enterprises. It offers advanced features, has a robust SQL implementation, supports Unicode and multibyte character encoding, and is locale-aware. With JumpBox, PostgreSQL becomes even more accessible and easy to deploy on popular virtualization and cloud platforms.
