Versions:
psqlODBC 18.00.0001 is the current stable release of the official PostgreSQL ODBC Driver maintained by the PostgreSQL Global Development Group; over the past two decades the project has produced eleven major versions that collectively give Windows, Linux and macOS applications standards-based connectivity to PostgreSQL servers from any client that can load an ODBC Driver Manager. Because it implements the Microsoft Open Database Connectivity specification, the driver is the bridge between PostgreSQL’s native wire protocol and the ODBC API, letting BI tools, spreadsheets, reporting suites, ETL engines, legacy desktop software and custom C/C++/C#/VB applications issue SQL commands, call stored procedures, pull large result sets and commit transactions without proprietary middleware. Typical use cases range from populating Excel pivot tables with live warehouse data, to migrating Access front-ends to a PostgreSQL back-end, to enabling Tableau, Power BI, Crystal Reports or Qlik to visualize terabyte-scale analytic databases. Administrators value the driver’s full support for PostgreSQL-specific data types such as arrays, hstore, JSON and ranges, its compliance with ANSI SQL-92 quoting rules, its configurable fetch size for network tuning, and its SSL/TLS, GSSAPI and SSPI authentication layers that satisfy both public-cloud and corporate-domain security policies. Version 18.00.0001 continues the lineage that began with the original 7.x releases, adding performance optimizations for large binary transfers and tighter integration with Windows Driver Manager tracing facilities. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
