PGPlike
PGPlike refers to a category of database management systems (DBMS) that share architectural similarities with PostgreSQL, the open-source relational database system. These systems often incorporate PostgreSQL’s core features, such as a robust object-relational model, extensibility, and support for advanced data types, functions, and indexing mechanisms. While not all PGPlike systems are direct clones, they typically emulate PostgreSQL’s extensible query language (SQL), transactional integrity, and multi-version concurrency control (MVCC) model.
PostgreSQL’s influence extends beyond its direct derivatives, inspiring databases that prioritize extensibility and SQL compliance. Examples
A defining trait of PGPlike systems is their support for user-defined types, functions, and operators, allowing
The term "PGPlike" is not an official classification but a descriptive label used by developers and users
