New versions of SecureBridge, EntityDAC, and dbExpress drivers are out. All three now work with RAD Studio 13 Florence Release 2 and offer improved support for the Arm64EC target platform. Devart dbExpress drivers also add support for Microsoft SQL Server 2025 and MySQL 9.7, while SecureBridge gains SFTP upload resume, multipart/form-data support, and a new SSL/TLS demo.

Dedicated vector databases have become such a standard part of the RAG conversation that teams often add one before they have proved they need it. According to studies, over 70% of companies using LLMs are using vector databases and RAG to customize their models. That shows how quickly the pattern has become normal. However, it does not mean every RAG application needs a separate retrieval system. If your application already runs on PostgreSQL, pgvector may be enough.

The latest update to Devart Data Access Components is here, bringing support for RAD Studio 13 Florence Release 2, Lazarus 4.8, Microsoft SQL Server 2025, MySQL 9.7.x, and NexusDB 4.75.20. The release also introduces new security and authentication capabilities, along with improvements to transaction management, database connectivity, data handling, and performance.

AI database governance can get overlooked when teams rush to connect AI tools to production data. IBM’s 2025 research found that 97% of organizations that reported a breach involving an AI model or application lacked proper AI access controls. The risk is easy to see. Give an AI agent too much access and it can expose or alter data in seconds. Feed it poor-quality data and it may produce a confident but incorrect answer.

Here comes dbForge 2026.2, a new release of our ever-evolving ecosystem of AI-powered database lifecycle management solutions—and it’s packed with useful updates you definitely shouldn’t miss!

The PostgreSQL database went from a platform developers respected to the one they reach for first. Today, it’s used by over 55.6% of all developers and 58.2% of professionals, powering everything from SaaS startups to AI platforms. For many new projects it’s now the default choice. But what pushed PostgreSQL ahead of so many alternatives? This guide answers that question by explaining what PostgreSQL is, how it works, and what makes it different from other databases.
