Dolt vs PostgreSQL: What are the differences?

Developers describe Dolt as "SQL database with Git-like functionality, implements push and pull". It is a relational database, i.e. it has tables, and you can execute SQL queries against those tables. It also has version control primitives that operate at the level of table cell. Thus it is a database that supports fine grained value-wise version control, where all changes to data and schema are stored in commit log. On the other hand, PostgreSQL is detailed as "A powerful, open source object-relational database system". PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions.

Dolt and PostgreSQL can be primarily classified as "Databases" tools.

PostgreSQL is an open source tool with 7.27K GitHub stars and 2.39K GitHub forks. Here's a link to PostgreSQL's open source repository on GitHub.

      What is Dolt?

      Dolt is a SQL database with Git-like version control features. Instead of versioning files, Dolt versions tables and provides a SQL query interface over those tables. The underlying storage is a commit graph, and it is exposed in SQL.

      What is PostgreSQL?

      PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions.
