PostgreSQL going Enterprise
Well, EnterpriseDB is doing a good job here.
Oracle has a big advantage against MySQL -- they own the InnoDB and
BerkeleyDB. PostgreSQL is a much trickier opponent here. The code
is BSD licensed, so they cannot possibly "buy out" companies or even
programmers to stop the code from flowing. And secondly, PostgreSQL
has lesser media-traction. It is not as visible as MySQL, yet they are
doing very good job -- which means Oracle may be overlooking a really
hard opponent out there.
