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.
