"Sun's recent decision to integrate and support the PostgreSQL database has highlighted to Solaris customers the superiority of PostgreSQL over other open source databases in terms of reliability, scalability and suitability for enterprise use," said Andy Astor, chief executive officer of EnterpriseDB. "EnterpriseDB is an attractive alternative for many of those customers, as it adds significant enterprise features, including the ability to run most existing Oracle applications without modification, and to build new applications using the Oracle skill sets they already possess."

EnterpriseDB 2005 is free for evaluation, development and low-volume production deployments and includes unlimited Web-based technical support. Enterprise software licenses are bundled with technical support and software update services. Bundles range in price from $1,000 to $5,000 per CPU, per year.
