Download Psql - PostgreSQL Frontend for Windows for free. Basic PostgreSQL client applications for Windows. It includes native win32 SQL terminal and backup tools, psql and pgdump with gzip, for execution of SQL scripts and access to PostgreSQL servers remotely by administrators and end users. Client Process; Postmaster Process. The Postmaster process is the first process started when you start PostgreSQL. At startup, performs recovery, initialize shared memory, and run background processes. It also creates a backend process when there is a connection request from the client process. (See Figure 1-2). SQuirreL SQL Client is a graphical Java program that will allow you to view the structure of a JDBC compliant database, browse the data in tables, issue SQL commands etc, see Getting Started and Introduction. The minimum version of Java supported is 1.8.x as of SQuirreL version 3.8.1.
List also includes tools to help with 'visualization' or 'documentation' of already existing databases.
For tools to 'run SQL and see its output' see PostgreSQL Clients.

Features interactive diagrams, relational data browse, schema compare and synchronization, query builder, query editor, HTML5 documentation, random data generator, forms and reports.
DbVisualizer
Windows / macOS / Linux / Java
A client that does a lot of things other than schema design. It has a free version that provides many of the features, but not apparently design and DDL export. DbVisualizer is a feature rich, intuitive multi-database tool for developers, database administrators, and increasingly for advanced analysts providing a single powerful interface across a wide variety of operating systems. With its easy-to-use and clean interface, DbVisualizer has proven to be one of the most cost effective database tools available, yet to mention that it runs on all major operating systems and supports all major RDBMS that are available. Users only need to learn and master one application. DbVisualizer integrates transparently with the operating system being used.
