+ "As relational database patterns evolve, PostgreSQL continues to make
+ performance gains in searching and managing data at scale," said Dave
+ Page, a PostgreSQL Core Team member. "PostgreSQL 16 gives users more
+ methods to scale-up and scale-out their workloads, while giving them
+ new ways to gain insights and optimize how they manage their data."
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ PostgreSQL, an innovative data management system known for its
+ reliability and robustness, benefits from over 35 years of open source
+ development from a global developer community and has become the
+ preferred open source relational database for organizations of all
+ sizes.
