STATEMENT:
Theory: What is PostgreSQL?
PostgreSQL is an ORDBMS [Open-Source Object-Relational Database Management
System]. It is used to store data securely; supporting best practices, and allow recovering
them when the request is processed.
 It is written in C programming language.
 PostgreSQL is cross-platform and runs on various operating systems such as
Microsoft Windows, UNIX, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Solaris, HP-UX, LINUX, and
so on.
 The PostgreSQL is the existing database for the macOS server.
 PostgreSQL will offer us the facility to add custom functions with the help of
various programming languages such as Java, C, and C++, etc.
 In this, we can describe our functional languages, index types and data types, and
we can also create a custom plugin to increase the reliability of our needs.
 The PostgreSQL follow the transaction along with the ACID (Atomicity,
Consistency, Isolation, and Durability) properties.
 The primary objective of PostgreSQL is to handle a variety of jobs from single
technologies to web service or the data warehouse with several parallel users.

Advantages and disadvantages of PostgreSQL

The benefits of the PostgreSQL are as follows:

 PostgreSQL is easy to use; that why we do not require much training.


 It requires low maintenance management for enterprise as well as embedded
usage.
 PostgreSQL manages data in a relational database as it is very powerful and
robust.
 We can quickly get the source code of PostgreSQL as it is freely available in
an open-source license, and we can immediately implement, change
according to our requirements.
 It can execute dynamic web-application and website as the LAMP stack
option.
 PostgreSQL is a highly risk-tolerant database.

The drawbacks of PostgreSQL are as follows:

 PostgreSQL does not support the various open-source applications as compared


to MySQL.
 In this, creating replication is a bit complex.
 It is not maintained by one company.
 PostgreSQL speed performance is not as good as compare to further tools.
 It is a bit slow as compared to MySQL.
 Sometimes, the installation process is not easy for the learner.

Concurrency Control
PostgreSQL provides a rich set of tools for developers to manage concurrent access to
data. Internally, data consistency is maintained by using a multiversion model
(Multiversion Concurrency Control, MVCC). This means that each SQL statement sees
a snapshot of data (a database version) as it was some time ago, regardless of the current
state of the underlying data. This prevents statements from viewing inconsistent data
produced by concurrent transactions performing updates on the same data rows,
providing transaction isolation for each database session. MVCC, by eschewing the
locking methodologies of traditional database systems, minimizes lock contention in
order to allow for reasonable performance in multiuser environments.

The main advantage of using the MVCC model of concurrency control rather than
locking is that in MVCC locks acquired for querying (reading) data do not conflict with
locks acquired for writing data, and so reading never blocks writing and writing never
blocks reading. PostgreSQL maintains this guarantee even when providing the strictest
level of transaction isolation through the use of an innovative Serializable Snapshot
Isolation (SSI) level.

Table- and row-level locking facilities are also available in PostgreSQL for applications
which don't generally need full transaction isolation and prefer to explicitly manage
particular points of conflict. However, proper use of MVCC will generally provide better
performance than locks. In addition, application-defined advisory locks provide a
mechanism for acquiring locks that are not tied to a single transaction.

Serializable Isolation Level


The Serializable isolation level provides the strictest transaction isolation. This level
emulates serial transaction execution for all committed transactions; as if transactions
had been executed one after another, serially, rather than concurrently. However, like the
Repeatable Read level, applications using this level must be prepared to retry transactions
due to serialization failures. In fact, this isolation level works exactly the same as
Repeatable Read except that it also monitors for conditions which could make execution
of a concurrent set of serializable transactions behave in a manner inconsistent with all
possible serial (one at a time) executions of those transactions. This monitoring does not
introduce any blocking beyond that present in repeatable read, but there is some overhead
to the monitoring, and detection of the conditions which could cause a serialization
anomaly will trigger a serialization failure.

Conclusion
In conclusion, PostgreSQL provides a powerful set of commands for database administration
and management, including tools for creating and modifying database objects, manipulating data, and
enforcing concurrency control. The use of appropriate PostgreSQL commands can help ensure efficient
and effective concurrency control, thereby improving database performance and reliability.
