MSSQL is a commercial relational database management system (RDBMS) developed and maintained by Microsoft. It provides a robust set of features for data management, including support for transactions, indexing, and query optimization. MSSQL is widely used in enterprise environments and is known for its scalability, security, and high availability features.
PostgreSQL, on the other hand, is a free and open-source RDBMS that is known for its reliability, scalability, and extensibility. It provides a rich set of features, including support for advanced data types, indexing, transactions, and concurrency control. PostgreSQL is often used in web and mobile applications as well as in enterprise environments.
