PostgreSQL

The World's Most Advanced Open Source Database

For years PostgreSQL has been recognized for its transaction processing capabilities and performance across a wide array of query intensive and mixed load applications. In development for over 20 years, PostgreSQL has all the features you would expect of a mature world class database including: full ACID compliance and relational integrity, MVCC, XML support, PITR, triggers, stored procedures, support for multiple procedural languages and much more.

A Vibrant Open Source Community

PostgreSQL is one of the largest and mature open source projects today. The project maintains over a dozen mailing lists, as well as several user groups, an active IRC community, and international sites in multiple languages. The active community has not only produced an outstanding database, but is also known for having some of the best open source documentation available today as well as a vibrant ecosystem of support and service companies that includes EnterpriseDB.

EnterpriseDB and the Community

EnterpriseDB contributes in many ways to the Postgres community. We are the single largest contributor to the PostgreSQL project and employ key people who provide not only contributions to the code base but critical leadership for product direction as well.

We make direct contributions of features like HOT (Heap Only Tuples) which was a centerpiece of the PostgreSQL v8.3 release, and StackBuilder which installs application solution stacks using a one click installer. We also fund community projects like Full Text Search and even fund our own open source projects like GridSQL^® providing Postgres with a commodity hardware based horizontal scaling architecture.

Our contributions have not just helped improve PostgreSQL, but have also provided a rock solid platform to build sophisticated enterprise ready database products that rivals any commercial database.

Postgres Plus Products

In addition to contributing to the community version of PostgreSQL, EnterpriseDB also builds and markets Postgres Plus Standard Server and Postgres Plus Advanced Server .Standard Server is a professionally packaged version of the community open source project plus other complimentary open source projects all wrapped inside a friendly one click installer.
