EnterpriseDB amplifies the benefits of PostgreSQL
by adding to it four features that are critically
important to enterprise users, but not available

EnterpriseDB is a reliable, accountable
company­not a loosely organized community of
developers­from which customers can acquire the

EnterpriseDB provides professional-quality tools for use with the database.

written for Oracle is not limited to PostGreSQL.
