Ubuntu Linux 14.04 operating system,

PostgreSQL 9.3.x,

pgAdmin 1.18

00:34 To follow this tutorial, you should have good understanding of basic computer concepts and

working knowledge of any programming language.

00:44 First, let us learn about RDBMS.
00:48 RDBMS stands for Relational Database Management System.
00:53 RDBMS is a program that helps to create, update and manage database.

01:25 It can run on various platforms such as Linux, Windows and Mac Operating System.
01:32 It requires minimum maintenance because of its stability.
01:37 We can define our own data types, index types and develop a custom plugin to meet our requirement.
01:45 An active community support is available to help solve issues when working with PostgreSQL.
01:53 PostgreSQL can be used by programmers, project managers, system administrators and

any software professional, who want to build products, websites, tools, etc.

02:09 Now, we will briefly go through the individual tutorials in this series.
