PostgreSQL is a free object-relational database server (database management system), released under the flexible BSD-style license. It offers an alternative to other open-source database systems (such as MySQL and Firebird), as well as to proprietary systems such as Oracle, Sybase, IBM's DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server.
PostgreSQL's unusual-looking name gives some readers pause in trying to pronounce it, especially those who pronounce SQL as "sequel". PostgreSQL's developers pronounce it "post-gress-Q-L". (Audio sample, 5.6k MP3). It is also common to hear it abbreviated as simply "postgres."
