Enterprise Tweaked PostgreSQL Solution - Oracle Killer?

      

The PostgreSQL database project has been seen as the enterprise version of an open source database for some time and now it is getting a big shot at the new "open source in the enterprise" surge.

Enter EnterpriseDB today. The company has built what is essentially an extended version of PostgreSQL with specific "for enterprise" additions. Sick of paying out the nose for Oracle? Drop in EnterpriseDB and fugitaboutit. From their PR today: '..including compatibility with many applications written for Oracle databases. This capability is implemented through compatible SQL syntax, datatypes, triggers and native stored procedures and results in dramatic cost reductions in both application migration and skills re-training.'

This is an interesting move. The Firebird community made a similar move about two years ago, adding oracle-mode ("Fyracle") to its open source enterprise RDBMS. It is now quite advanced, see:

So, if you are dissappointed with EnterpriseDB's feature set, try Firebird. The download is only 5MB and installs with just a few clicks.
