Answer from AI

PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system that supports multiple data types and storage models:

  • Relational tables — the primary data storage model in the form of rows and columns.
  • JSON and JSONB — for storing and processing semi-structured data in JSON format.
  • Arrays — support for arrays of various data types.
  • Geometric types — points, lines, polygons, etc.
  • XML — for storing XML documents.
  • Hstore — key-value store for unstructured data.
  • Full-text search — special types and indexes for text search.

Thus, PostgreSQL supports not only classic relational data but also extended types for working with documents, geospatial data, and key-value pairs.
