dbFront is best suited for organizations that manage their own infrastructure (Database) and want to give their users enhanced access to their data.
PostgreSQL is a great and powerful database system, used in the management of object-related databases, bringing great performances on concurrency, transactions, and schema controls.
At some point, we start having problems with very slow queries, and after some debugging we discover postgres decided to use the wrong index to perform the query plan.
PostgreSQL is by far the most user friendly and most advanced database system out of the top 5 popular choices.
And that makes it somewhat discredited when planning an application.
PostgreSQL is highly regarded for its robustness, scalability, and reliability, making it the perfect choice for businesses looking for a dependable and secure database.
Occasionally has a feature missing or delayed for want of development resources.
It is very robust and once set up it is easy to maintain and hard to break. PostgreSQL is completely free - there are no licencing fees of any kind, which makes it a great option for any project.
If your software requires over 10k transactions per second, you're gonna have to put in some serious work make Postgres scale. This is where Postgres becomes a pain to optimize.
Needed assistant connecting to my domain and azure and support was awesome. Software is an excellent solution for a quick way to have a front end to your DB.
Also the truncation of the text in the table view was also a disadvantage to my particular use case.
DbFront made it easy to create an in-house front-end to our SQL database that allows us all of the functionality we need to update and maintain our records. It's awesome and constantly improving.
One problem is that you can only have two level relationships. So you can select say Record A to show related Record Bs and then select a Record B and show related Record Cs.
My overall experience is very good and overall I think the software is very good with a fast setup time as compared to you having to create an interface from scratch your self.
I haven't found anything yet that I dislike. Usually if it's missing it's because I haven't learned how to configure it yet.
The help center for understanding the application and setting it up is very easy to follow and the Support is very responsive.
Also all of this has been achieved under a tight deadline and requires almost no programming knowledge to use or setup.
David Z.: My name's David, I'm a software developer in the audiovisual industry, and I would give PostgreSQL a five. We're using PostgreSQL to solve data persistence issues that we were having, as well as we're using it for business intelligence purposes to run various queries for our analytics and business intelligence divisions. What I like most about PostgreSQL is it's very easy to use compared to other SQL dialects, and very easy to deploy Docker containers. What I dislike most about PostgreSQL is that certain things like database vacuuming and other maintenance processes can be single threaded, which can cause a little more downtime than necessary.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
