IBM Invests In MySQL/Oracle Competitor

It's good to see Postgres get some financial loving. It's my preferred open-source DB. I like the features, performance, and cleanliness when compared to MySQL.

I think the name change from "EnterpriseDB Postgres" to "Postgres Plus" and "Postgres Plus Advanced Server" is a great idea. It gets the name "Postgres" in a more prominent position and conveys the idea of their commercial product as a step up from the freely available one.

Go PostgreSQL!

A RDBMS that tries to take being relational seriously, instead of trying to be a fast filesystem with an SQL-like command syntax? Really? Gosh.

Let's not forget about IBM's strategic hire of Damien Katz, the creator of CouchDB.
