PostgreSQL overview
PostgreSQL for Mac is a collection of graphical tools for using and managing PostgreSQL servers, as well as the server itself installable on any Mac running OS X version 10.5.x.
Also included as part of the package is the PGSQLKit framework, an open source framework for developers to leverage the power of PostgreSQL in their own applications.
After many years of development, PostgreSQL has become feature-complete in many areas. This release shows a targeted approach to adding features (e.g., authentication, monitoring, space reuse), and adds capabilities defined in the later SQL standards.
What’s new in version 17.2
- New memory management system for VACUUM, which reduces memory consumption and can improve overall vacuuming performance.
- New SQL/JSON capabilities, including constructors, identity functions, and the JSON_TABLE() function, which converts JSON data into a table representation.
- Various query performance improvements, including for sequential reads using streaming I/O, write throughput under high concurrency, and searches over multiple values in a btree index.
- New client-side connection option, sslnegotiation=direct, that performs a direct TLS handshake to avoid a round-trip negotiation.
- pg_basebackup now supports incremental backup.
- COPY adds a new option, ON_ERROR ignore, that allows a copy operation to continue in the event of an error.

Version: 11.0
Support for version 11 includes 10.12 to 10.14 only. For version 10, it goes from 10.10 to 10.12. At least in the primary installers, the offers by EnterpriseDB. Is this due to the included extras, or directly by PostgresSQL?

Version: 9.0.1
The download link points to the 9.0.0 version not 9.0.1. You have to go to the developer's site to download the current version.

Version: 9.0.0
1. The title of this entry should specifically say "PostgreSQL for Mac" in order to distiguish it from any official PostgreSQL listing.
2. If you're going to download or link to this, it's better to do it from their SourceForge page because their web site isn't as speedy:

Version: 8.4.2
Indeed the easiest way to install Postgres on a Mac. And it has a proper control panel to start/stop the database.

Version: 8.3.5
By far the easiest way to have an postgreSQL server running in no time... And I am using mine intensively since then ;-)
Great job
