When I installed Squirrel it did not come with any JDBC drivers and I had to d/l JTDS for MS SQL, IBM’s driver for DB2 and MySQL driver from Oracle.
I do not know much about PostgreSQL but their web site is probably a good starting point.
Thank you!

Thanks for response Alex, can you please tell if I need to download the jar file from https://jdbc.postgresql.org/ or the required JAR files will be provided along with Squirrel SQL download.
Thanks,
Sathesh

You need to set up the driver in the Drivers section.
Choose PostgreSQL and provide a path to the JAR, etc.

Subject: [Squirrel-sql-users] Drivers installation
Hello,
I'm a new user of SQuirreL SQL, I have installed it my laptop and I have chosen plugins for Oracle, PostgreSQL etc..,
But when I try to connect to PostgreSQL, the connection kept failing. Then I downloaded the JDBC driver from PostgreSQL website and placed it under the lib folder in SQuirreL SQL installation, which helped the connection.
I have a very basic question, does the drivers for the plugins which I choose during installation get installed automatically or I need to download the JDBC drivers for different databases and place it under lib folder.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Sathesh
