"We spent this summer's beta program ensuring the quality and completeness of our product, which is now 100% production-ready," said EnterpriseDB CEO Andy Astor as his company announced at LinuxWorld Conference & Expo in San Francisco the release of the General Availability version of EnterpriseDB 2005, the PostgreSQL-based product launched live (in beta) on SYS-CON.TV in May.

"Even before we finished, we announced software quality test results that were ten times better than MySQL's and a hundred times better than average commercial code," Astor continued.

"Combined with the aggressive pricing we have announced today," Astor said at LinuxWorld yesterday, "EnterpriseDB 2005 should be a top consideration for every enterprise, especially those seeking to leverage previous Oracle investments."

The release marks the end of the software's beta program, which began on May 23rd.

EnterpriseDB 2005 is an enterprise-class database built on PostgreSQL, the world's most advanced open source database. It delivers Oracle compatibility as well as performance enhancements over PostgreSQL.

More information and EnterpriseDB 2005 downloads are available from the company's website at www.enterprisedb.com.

EnterpriseDB is demonstrating EnterpriseDB 2005 in booth #552 at the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo, August 8-11 in San Francisco and has donated space in its booth to enable the PostgreSQL community to have a presence at the show, so community representatives will also be present in the booth each day.
