PostgreSQL
SQL stands for Structured Query Language. SQL is a international standard in querying and retrieving information from databases. PostgreSQL is, like MySQL, essentially an SQL server and database - it responds to requests for information that are written in SQL. You can communicate with PostgreSQL using a wide variety of programming languages, including PHP, Perl, Python, etc. PostgreSQL is Open Source software and generally free for commercial or personal use.

It is recommended that you install phpPgAdmin first before you use PostgreSQL (refer to Software Manager for more information about installing phpMyAdmin). phpPgAdmin is an easy-to-use PostgreSQL administration script, and is the recommended tool for using PostgreSQL. As an alternative, you can also use Dedicated Server Manager to perform several administration activities, which are described below.
To use phpPgAdmin:
