"Our many successes during 2005 are a credit to both the talented team here at EnterpriseDB and to the strength of PostgreSQL and its community," said Andy Astor, chief executive officer of EnterpriseDB.

EnterpriseDB, which adds commercial-grade technical support, performance enhancements and compatibility with Oracle, is becoming the preferred choice for enterprises seeking the benefits of PostgreSQL."
