Using PostgreSQL in modern enterprise web applications

Using HTML5, JavaScript, NodeJS with PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL's object relational heritage makes it an outstanding choice for developing web applications that have a rich object model domain. See how PostgreSQL's object relational features allow for building database models to support a NodeJS data service feeding a 100% JavaScript web client.
