Advanced open source relational database with a lineage reaching back to the POSTGRES project at UC Berkeley in the 1980s. Renowned for standards compliance, extensibility and transactional integrity, it is the database on which much of the modern internet quietly runs.
The Preservation Rating scores how well this entry is archived — not how good the software is. It's calculated automatically from what's already on this page: working mirrors, documentation, a reproducible build, a clearly identified license, and complete metadata. Nothing here is entered by hand; it updates itself whenever the entry changes.
