日前，EnterpriseDB公司和Sun公司達成協議，將為Sun公司Solaris用戶的PostgreSQL產品提供服務。Sun公司一直都想為其Solaris平台下的PostfreSQL提供技術支持服務。而成立於1年前的EnterpriseDB公司，主要是為PostgreSQL用戶提供高端商業支持服務，比如使得PostgreSQL兼容Oracle數據庫產品等，這次它和Sun公司的強強聯手，PostgreSQL用戶可謂有福了。 EnterpriseDB, which has built an Oracle-compatible edition of PostgreSQL, will offer support to Sun's Solaris customers Sun has signed a deal with EnterpriseDB to provide support to Sun customers running the PostgreSQL database, EnterpriseDB said on Monday.

Late last year, Sun said that it intended to provide support services around PostgreSQL database to customers running the open source database on Sun's Solaris servers. EnterpriseDB, which launched about a year ago, has built an Oracle-compatible edition of PostgreSQL and contributes to the open source project. The partnership calls for EnterpriseDB to field more difficult support questions, rather than more routine queries, through Sun, said EnterpriseDB CEO Andy Astor. EnterpriseDB could potentially offer support services directly to Sun customers, he added.
