Answer from AI

PostgreSQL is recommended in the following cases:

  • When a reliable and scalable relational database with support for complex queries is needed.
  • If advanced features such as transactions, full-text search, spatial data (PostGIS) are required.
  • For projects where compliance with SQL standards and high compatibility are important.
  • When extensibility is needed — the ability to add custom data types, functions, and operators.
  • When open-source license and active community support are important.

Example: a web application with large data volume requiring complex analytical queries and high reliability is well suited for PostgreSQL.
