PostgreSQL - Steve M. - 10.12.2011

Hey guys. Can someone explain to me what's a PostgreSQL and what is it for? And can I use it for SA:MP SQLite somehow?

PostgreSQL is a completely different database management system, so no you can't. Database management systems are essentially the types of databases you use, SQLite is a 'type' too, as is MySQL.

Oh, I see. Thanks for the explanation. I thought that PostgreSQL was some kind of editor for SQL language.

And one more question. Database management systems use SQL language for creating databases or ...?

Database management systems use SQL for writing queries. You can read, write and delete using SQL with any database management system.
