PostgreSQL Global Development Group - ( Freeware)
PostgreSQL is a good choice when it comes to object-relational database management system, being one of the strongest competitors for Microsoft SQL Server, Firebird, Oracle, Sybase.
PostgreSQL for Windows is a software for managing relational database and Ordbms objects that will run on your operating system. It is recognized worldwide for its stability and its programming possibilities particularly extensive in the engine of your database using the PL / pgSQL.
PostgreSQL is the main competitor for MySQL, Firebird, Oracle, Sybase or Microsoft SQL Server and it is fully ACID compliant and has support for foreign keys, joins, views, triggers, and stored procedures. It also includes the windowing functions, common table expressions and recursive joins a parallel restore, consolidated hash indexes, support for SSL certificates for user authentication, routines statistics function, etc.It allows to manage tables, libraries for many languages to access records from programs written in Java (JDBC), C + + / C, Perl or Tcl / Tk.ODBC API allows any application that supports this type of interface to access PostgreSQL databases.
PostgreSQL is highly customizable running stored procedures in more than a dozen programming languages, including Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, C/C++,and its own PL/pgSQL, which is similar to Oracle's PL/SQL.

Fix reporting of scram-sha-256 authentication method in the pg_hba_file_rules view.

In databases using UTF8 encoding, ignore any XML declaration that asserts a different encoding.
Provide for forward compatibility with future minor protocol versions.
Allow a client that supports SCRAM channel binding (such as v11 or later libpq) to connect to a v10 server.
Avoid live-lock in ConditionVariableBroadcast().
Clean up waits for condition variables correctly during subtransaction abort.
Ensure that child processes that are waiting for a condition variable will exit promptly if the postmaster process dies.
Fix crashes in parallel queries using more than one Gather node.
Fix hang in parallel index scan when processing a deleted or half-dead index page.
Avoid crash if parallel bitmap heap scan is unable to allocate a shared memory segment.
Cope with failure to start a parallel worker process.
Avoid unnecessary failure when no parallel workers can be obtained during parallel query startup.
Fix collection of EXPLAIN statistics from parallel workers.
Ensure that query strings passed to parallel workers are correctly null-terminated.

Prevent stack-overflow crashes when planning extremely deeply nested set operations (UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT).
Avoid crash during an EvalPlanQual recheck of an indexscan that is the inner child of a merge join.
Fix crash in autovacuum when extended statistics are defined for a table but can't be computed.
Fix null-pointer crashes for some types of LDAP URLs appearing in pg_hba.conf.

Rename pg_rewind's copy_file_range function to avoid conflict with new Linux system call of that name.
In ecpg, detect indicator arrays that do not have the correct length and report an error.
Change the behavior of contrib/cube's cube ~> int operator to make it compatible with KNN search.
Avoid triggering a libc assertion in contrib/hstore, due to use of memcpy() with equal source and destination pointers.

Fix incorrect output from contrib/pageinspect's hash_page_items() function.
In contrib/postgres_fdw, avoid outer pathkeys do not match mergeclauses planner error when constructing a plan involving a remote join.
In contrib/postgres_fdw, avoid planner failure when there are duplicate GROUP BY entries.
Provide modern examples of how to auto-start Postgres on macOS.
