Database engine

Does Photo Mechanic Plus use PostgreSQL? Recently noticed PostgreSQL Server 9.5 instances showing up in my background processes (Win10 Pro 22H2) and I'm not sure what's spawning them.

Also been having issues with the catalog/organizer tab stuff freezing in PMP 6 build 7212 (which led me to reinstall yesterday), so trying to figure out if there are any PMP-related processes or services not stopping when I close the program normally or end up having to "end task" the app from my task manager.

PostgreSQL Server versions prior to 13 are all EOL, so I need to figure out where those processes are coming from.

It does not use PostgreSQL. I believe it is SQLite. As far as processes, I believe any subprocess of Photo Mechanic would be called 'pm-task', although I don't have a Windows computer to double-check that on at the moment.
