[edit] Products
EnterpriseDB's Postgres Plus Advanced Server (formerly EnterpriseDB Advanced Server) is a commercial product based on the open-source PostgreSQL database. EnterpriseDB claims that Advanced Server can perform 50% faster than vanilla PostgreSQL[2], although this figure has not been confirmed by independent benchmarks.
Additionally, it can run Oracle applications written for Oracle databases by revising the core of PostgreSQL to recognize Oracle's PL/SQL.[3][4]
It is available for several different platforms, including Linux, Windows, and Solaris. It includes connectors for the most common enterprise programming languages and environments, including: JDBC, ODBC, .NET, ESQL / C++, Perl, Python, PHP.
