Every Supabase project comes with a full Postgres database, a free and open source
|
|
database which is considered one of the world's most stable and advanced databases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Postgres or PostgreSQL?
|
|
|
|
|
|
The database was derived from the POSTGRES Project, a package written at the University of California at Berkeley in 1986.
|
|
This package included a query language called "PostQUEL".
|
|
|
|
In 1994, Postgres95 was built on top of POSTGRES code, adding an SQL language interpreter as a replacement for PostQUEL.
|
|
Eventually, Postgres95 was renamed to PostgreSQL to reflect the SQL query capability.
|
|
|
|
After this, many people referred to it as Postgres since it's less prone to confusion. Supabase is all about
|
|
simplicity, so we also refer to it as Postgres.
