PostgreSQL Wire Protocol

The PostgreSQL wire protocol is a binary protocol used to facilitate communication between a PostgreSQL client and server.  

The benefit of using the PostgreSQL wire protocol in CrateDB lies in its seamless compatibility with various SQL tools. By adopting this protocol, CrateDB becomes easily onboardable and works with most SQL tools, such as JDBC, ODBC, and REST interfaces. This ensures that users can effortlessly integrate their existing tools and applications, streamlining the adoption of CrateDB within their workflows.
