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.
