Postgres maximizes value by enabling a wider range
of workloads from a relational database:
• Postgres’ Object-Relational roots provides flexibility and extensibility
for unstructured data types, languages and plug-ins
• Handles many NoSQL workloads with support of XML, JSON and
HStore (key-value store) data types
• Foreign Data Wrappers enable read/write integration with other
NoSQL technologies
• Postgres Plus Advanced Server connector for Hadoop
• Non-durable (unlogged) storage capability
Not just traditional workloads, but also
Big Data with ACID compliance
