Database

PostgreSQL is an advanced, open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) known for its strong adherence to SQL standards and extensive feature set. It is highly favored for its robustness, scalability, and performance. PostgreSQL supports a wide range of data types and advanced data integrity features such as foreign keys, triggers, views, and stored procedures. Additionally, it provides full support for ACID transactions, ensuring data reliability and consistency.

Computer science is seen as an experimental science. Therefore it is expected that teachers use a wide range of practical activities to support the theoretical content.
