PostgreSQL is an open source, object-relational database built with a focus on extensibility, data integrity, and speed. Its concurrency support makes it fully ACID compliant, and it supports dynamic loading and catalog-driven operations to let users customize its data types, functions, and more.
Create PostgreSQL Database Clusters
From the Create menu in the top right of the control panel, click Databases.
Select PostgreSQL as the database engine.
Choose the cluster configuration and datacenter, and give the cluster a unique name.
Tip
For the best performance, create your database cluster in the same region as your Droplets.
