The launch of EnterpriseDB

I guess I missed the point of this article. Have they added any worth while features? Revamping PGAdmin is okay, but not that important. I guess if you have a large number of embeded triggers and what not siting in Oracle, this would give you the hope migrating to a cheaper platform, but for the amount of secrecy and whatnot I don't really see this being that important. I'm more interested in additional functionality, not so much compatability. And I don't think I'm alone.

I thought the point of the article was pretty clear -- to tell you that EnterpriseDB, something based on a popular open source package, exists and a little about it.But you seem to be asking about the point of EnterpriseDB. That too is pretty explicit in Paragraph 3: Enterprise DB compatibility and a GUI Studio application. It also mentions the product being cheap.
While some may think neither of these is important, I know lots of people do. Being able to migrate an application from Oracle to something cheaper seems to be a very useful thing, and apparently that isn't as feasible with PostgreSQL.
