Open Enterprise: The PostgreSQL Open Source Database Blog from EnterpriseDB


General Availability of Postgres Plus Advanced Server v8.3 Release 2 (8.3 R2)

June 16th, 2009 by Sean Crowley

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

Download 8.3 R2 now for Linux, Windows or Mac. For all the details inside the release, see the Release Notes at the same link above or check out the documentation.

The award-winning Postgres Plus products based on PostgreSQL come available with industry leading services such as 24×7 technical support, expert-delivered training for DBAs and application developers, pre-packaged services, and professional consulting.
