The web site isn't very promising. It doesn't say what is it supposed
to do. Here is the product information:
***************************************************************************=
*************************
EnterpriseDB Corporation (EDB) was founded in 2004 to bring the benefits of=
open source databases to enterprise customers. Until now, enterprises have=
had to choose between the expensive solutions they have been locked into f=
or decades and lightweight open source database products that are not enter=
prise-class.
The EDB product set is built on top of PostgreSQL, the world's most advance=
d open source database. PostgreSQL was first developed at the University of=
California at Berkeley by the same team that built Ingres, and has been un=
der continuous community development for 20 years. With millions of downloa=
ds to date, it is the second most popular open source database in the world=
, and is widely regarded as best-in-class for enterprise features such as t=
ransaction processing, data integrity, and security.
The EDB product adds capabilities to PostgreSQL in three primary areas:
*
Compatibility with traditional databases (Existing applications run u=
nchanged)
*
Performance and scalability enhancements (Faster, even under intense =
loads)
*
Improved quality and security (Hardened for commercial use)
***************************************************************************=
**************
And yet, I still don't know what the heck does it do? Is it a development t=
ool? Is it an application?
Does it cook coffee? Can I use it to microwave Marie Calender's products? O=
ther then that, it is impressive.
