EnterpriseDB is excited to announce the immediate General Availability of Postgres Plus Advanced Server v8.3 Release 2 (8.3 R2).

This customer-driven release continues to build beyond the features and performance found in the community version of PostgreSQL while decreasing the risk and cost in time, money, and re-training to switch to an affordable open source database technology. The new capabilities focus on deeper Oracle compatibility, even easier migrations from other databases, and performance and scalability unmatched by any PostgreSQL database. Additionally, there are multiple component maintenance upgrades and over 200 minor fixes and enhancements.

What’s in it for you? Some of the release highlights include:

• Deeper Oracle support for objects, packages, transaction management, and migration reduces the risk and cost of adopting open source database technology by allowing you to better leverage your investment in Oracle skills and lower the cost of migrating and adopting a world class open source database built on PostgreSQL
• Infinite Cache improves performance up to 5 times faster than the PostgreSQL community version while reducing costs for massive scalability across your existing commodity hardware footprint
• LDAP and PAM Security support allow easier application customization while EDB*Wrap protects sensitive or proprietary code
• New / updated documentation
