While both MySQL and Postgres are free and open-source RDBMS, Postgres is an object-relational database management system (ORDBMS), which means it has both object-oriented and relational database functionality. In general, an RDBMS organizes data like Excel does, in tables of rows and columns, although describing it as “Excel on steroids” would be more appropriate.

Because it handles extraordinary database situations better than MySQL, Postgres is viewed as the go-to solution when performing complicated, high-volume data operations.

Unlike MySQL, which is managed by Oracle, Postgres is overseen by a vibrant community of developers who are highly motivated to both use the product and help others to discover it and keep it running smoothly.
