Well, "sql" is a query language, and "plsql" is a procedural language,
so I'm guessing you mean MS-Sql Server and PostgreSQL.
A full comparison of the various databases would be a long report, and
is the sort of thing you pay thousands of pounds for. Also, this being a
PostgreSQL group, you'd expect more knowledge of that platform and even
some bias towards it.
You also don't mention what platform/application types/budget you are
looking at.

They all are, for some definition of "RDBMS" - see
http://www.dbdebunk.com for why some people think the term is horribly
abused.
> 2. data independence
In what sense?
> 3. support of plsql
This is an Oracle language. PostgreSQL has something similar plpgsql.
> 4. integrity
Apart from some of "MySQL's gotchas" (google for the term), they should
all be equivalent, assuming you mean what I think you mean.
> 5. security
Depends what you mean.
> 6. use and application
Not sure what you mean here.
> 7. support to thirdparty products
Depends what products you are interested in.
> 8. functionability
Not sure what you mean here.
> 9. operatability
Not sure what you mean here.
> 10. reliability
You'd hope all would be reliable on good hardware.
Sorry if this isn't as much help as you'd like, but you'll need to give
more detail if you want a more detailed answer.
