WESTFORD, Mass., June 16, 2009 - EnterpriseDB, the leading enterprise open source database company, announced today that it has been named to the SD Times 100 list in the Databases and Data Tools category for the second consecutive year.

"EnterpriseDB is the industry leader in delivering PostgreSQL-based products and services to the enterprise, and it's a privilege to be recognized once again by SD Times," said Ed Boyajian, chief executive officer, EnterpriseDB. "Our newest release of Postgres Plus Advanced Server, announced today, includes significant new features in the areas of Oracle compatibility, massive scalability, and enterprise-grade security, each in response to our customers' real-world challenges."

The 2009 SD Times 100 honors EnterpriseDB for its accomplishments in 2008, highlighted by the introduction of the Postgres Plus product family, which includes Postgres Plus Standard Server and Postgres Plus Advanced Server.

Throughout the year, EnterpriseDB continued its support of the PostgreSQL open source community with valuable contributions of code, time, advocacy, marketing, and other sponsorship.
