Every Supabase project comes with a full [Postgres](https://www.postgresql.org/) database, a free and open source database which is considered one of the world's most stable and advanced databases.
|
|
|
|
## Postgres or PostgreSQL?
|
|
|
|
PostgreSQL the database was derived from the POSTGRES Project, a package written at the University of California at Berkeley in 1986. This package included a query language called "PostQUEL".
|
|
|
|
In 1994, Postgres95 was built on top of POSTGRES code, adding an SQL language interpreter as a replacement for PostQUEL. Eventually, Postgres95 was renamed to PostgreSQL to reflect the SQL query capability.
|
|
|
|
After this, many people referred to it as Postgres since it's less prone to confusion. Supabase is all about simplicity, so we also refer to it as Postgres.
|
|
|
|
## Supabase Studio
|
|
|
|
Postgres is known to be one of the most extensible databases available, so you can use it to build almost any application. The Supabase platform makes this easier with a simple-to-use dashboard called "Supabase Studio".
|
|
|
|
### Table View
|
|
|
|
You don't have to be a database expert to start using Supabase. Our table view makes Postgres as easy to use as a spreadsheet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Relationships

### Additional features
|
|
|
|
- Supabase extends Postgres with realtime functionality using our [Realtime Server](https://github.com/supabase/realtime).
|
|
- Every project is a full Postgres database, with `postgres` level access.
|
|
- Supabase manages your database backups.
|
|
- Import data directly from a CSV or excel spreadsheet.
|
|
|
|
<Admonition type="note">
|
|
|
|
Database backups **do not** include objects stored via the Storage API, as the database only includes metadata about these objects. Restoring an old backup does not restore objects that have been deleted since then.
|
|
|
|
</Admonition>
|
|
|
|
### Extensions
|
|
|
|
To expand the functionality of your Postgres database, you can use extensions. You can enable Postgres extensions with the click of a button within the Supabase dashboard.
