Sun taps EnterpriseDB for PostgreSQL support

Sun Microsystems has signed a deal with EnterpriseDB to provide support to Sun customers running the PostgreSQL database, EnterpriseDB said on Monday.

Late last year, Sun said that it intended to provide support services around PostgreSQL database to customers running the open-source database on Sun's Solaris servers. EnterpriseDB, which launched about a year ago, has built an Oracle-compatible edition of PostgreSQL and contributes to the open-source project. The partnership calls for EnterpriseDB to field more difficult support questions, rather than more routine queries, through Sun, said EnterpriseDB CEO Andy Astor. EnterpriseDB could potentially offer support services directly to Sun customers, he added.

I thought they went bankcrupt?

I remember reading couple weeks ago about EnterpriseDB shutting down.. Deal with Sun will help EnterpriseDB back on track I guess.
Any rate, PostgreSQL Rulez!! Cheers~!~

That Was Someone Else...

You may be thinking of Pervasive, which pulled out of the PostgreSQL business a couple of weeks ago. EnterpriseDB continues to run strong, with a bunch of new customers and a fresh infusion of a $20 million Series B financing.
