EnterpriseDB is an open source database system which allows you to port most Oracle applications over to their database server with almost no change to your code. They allow you to use the database free of cost, while providing paid support. So if you’re planning to reduce your TCO costs on your applications look at EnterpriseDB to run your database servers. EnterpriseDB is based on PostgreSQL database.

hmm… only very specific PHP configurations support the usage yet. that’s a shame. It’s definitely interesting to see this development. A cheaper (== free in this case) alternative to Oracle would be nice.
Then again, Oracle has built a name over years and years of good work. This one really has to prove itself before it will actually get Oracle’s enterprise market share.

Yep. PHP support is still leaves a lot to be desired.
