February marks an important development in EnterpriseDB’s expansion in India, where the use of open source software has been rising as technology buyers seek solutions with low upfront deployment costs. At a cost that is 80% or more less than traditional alternatives, Postgres represents significant savings.

With our most recent release of Postgres Plus Advanced Server 9.3, EnterpriseDB also made some nifty new updates to our enterprise-class database management console, Postgres Enterprise Manager.

A special presentation of EnterpriseDB’s Introduction to PostgreSQL Administration next month will be led by PostgreSQL community leader and Global Development Group co-founder Bruce Momjian. The three-day live virtual event will be Feb. 5-7 and will provide a solid foundation for working with PostgreSQL for enterprise software specialists and experienced database administrators.

Postgres' parameters have an associated context, which determines when that parameter can be changed. You can see the context of every parameter using the following query. A sample output is also shown.

Vaadin refreshes the UI without user input, allowing it to display information that has changed asynchronously on the server. It adds an invisible component to the client web page which polls the server for changes. A matching server-side handler is called when the server is polled.

Bruce Momjian recently did a blog on Postgres Monitoring tools. I want to point out a unique and useful feature of Postgres Enterprise Manager from EnterpriseDB.

This post is the third in a series that takes a look at some of the exciting new features of Postgres Plus Advanced Server 9.0, which is currently in beta.

Recently, I've been digging into Scala to understand how PostgreSQL would integrate inside of Scala code.

nless you've been living under a rock for the past 3 years, you've heard of OpenOffice.org. Like most people, I've used the software a few times to edit some documents and haven't really given much thought to it.
