[[wikipedia:PostgreSQL]], often simply '''Postgres''', is an [[object-relational database management system]] (ORDBMS). PostgreSQL is [[ACID]]-compliant and [[Transactional]]. PostgreSQL has updatable [[Views]] and [[Materialized view]], [[Triggers]], [[Foreign key]]; supports functions and stored procedures, and other expandability. PostgreSQL listens by default in TCP port 5432.

The easiest way to install PostgreSQL in these operating systems is to use their respective built-in package managers - for instance, the <code>pkg</code> command in DragonFlyBSD or <code>apt</code> in Debian and its derivatives. Be advised that there will be different variants of PostgreSQL available for install at a given point, specially regarding version numbers and client/server side. You should decide beforehand which version suits your needs for a particular application. Furthermore, you need to make sure that you have sufficient privileges in the system to install software (properly configured sudo/doas access, for example) or your install will fail.
