ISELIN, N.J., Aug. 2, 2007 – EnterpriseDB, the Oracle-compatible database company, today announced that it has been selected as a finalist in two categories for the LinuxWorld Product Excellence Awards. EnterpriseDB Advanced Server 8.2 is a finalist in the Best Database Solution category for the third straight year, and GridSQL for EnterpriseDB Advanced Server is a finalist in the Grid Computing Solution category.

EnterpriseDB Advanced Server 8.2, the company's flagship product, is an enterprise-class relational database management system (RDBMS) that is compatible with applications written for Oracle.
