About
PostgreSQL, also known as Postgres, is a powerful open-source object-relational database system that extends SQL with features for storing structured, semi-structured and geometric data.
It supports ACID transactions, multiversion concurrency control (MVCC), advanced indexing types (GiST, GIN, BRIN), native JSON/JSONB with indexing, extensibility through custom types and functions, full-text search, foreign data wrappers, and geospatial queries via PostGIS.
SQLite is a lightweight open source cross-platform single-file SQL database engine with zero-configuration and serverless architecture.
It implements most of SQL-92 standard, supports ACID transactions even after system crashes, offers 
JSON support and partial indexes, and allows databases up to about 281 terabytes.
