EnterpriseDB – the entity with the aim of sells an extended version of the amicable source PostgreSQL folder in the same way as well in the same way as commercial-grade support in lieu of with the aim of software – is sitting pretty.
By in a minute the instant with the aim of Hewlett-Packard is embroiled in the sphere of a grievance a propos Oracle's cessation of development of its folder, middleware, and applications on expectations Itanium processors – and therefore on current and expectations releases of the HP-UX variant of Unix from HP – EnterpriseDB is in lieu of the original phase rolling available support in lieu of HP-UX with its PostgreSQL Plus well ahead member of staff serving at table 9.0 folder.
The timing in lieu of executive PostgreSQL support is not coincidental. In the sphere of piece of evidence, according to Karen Padir, associate president of products and marketing by the upstart folder distributor, says with the aim of HP approached EnterpriseDB in the sphere of January or else February, sooner than the Itanium come forth erupted concerning prophesy and the member of staff serving at table maker but afterward prophesy had acquired HP Unix rival Sun Microsystems and ex- HP first in command and chairman smudge Hurd had motivated to prophesy in the same way as co-president and the gloves had openly occur rancid concerning these two ex- partners.
HP and EnterpriseDB were working on prim and proper support in lieu of HP-UX/Itanium platforms by the call for of a amount of HP customers, not for the reason that of slightly precise comprehension of what did you say? Prophesy would perform just a only some weeks in a while in the sphere of demo.
The amicable source PostgreSQL folder has long-since run on HP-UX systems with PA-RISC or else Itanium processors in lieu of years, and indeed, according to its platform liberate interpretation, the amicable source version can befall loaded and in a minute going on for whatever thing with the aim of looks or else smells like Unix or else Linux in the same way as well in the same way as Windows.
You can build PostgreSQL 7.3 or else elevated from source on HP-UX 10.X or else 11.X versions on either PA-RISC or else Itanium tackle, provided you be inflicted with the sincere compiler tools. This sort of event is fine in lieu of a hyperscale snare company, but corporate data centers running commerce applications are not with the aim of bunch once it comes to software. They like binaries in lieu of target platforms and lots of hand-holding in lieu of patching and in lieu of once things move out insult.
This is someplace EnterpriseDB comes in the sphere of, only if ad support in the same way as well in the same way as various facial appearance with the aim of are not obtainable in the sphere of the amicable source PostgreSQL with the aim of justify paying in lieu of a support contract.
EnterpriseDB sells two versions of its folder. Standard member of staff serving at table is a hardened version of the amicable source PostgreSQL code, which is amicable source like PostgreSQL itself, while well ahead member of staff serving at table has a bunch of add-ons, plus an prophesy folder compatibility layer, with the aim of are not in the sphere of the amicable source predetermine. With the aim of prophesy compatibility layer, by the way, was accredited by IBM to embed in the sphere of its DB2 9.7 folder and was independently accredited by data warehousing appliance maker Netezza in the same way as well sooner than huge Blue bought the company only remaining time.
The PostgreSQL Plus well ahead member of staff serving at table 9.0 includes the seventh generation of this prophesy folder skinning tools. EnterpriseDB has been at the bottom of Oracle's PL/SQL language, which is used to create triggers and stored procedures with the aim of follow embedded in the sphere of databases, in lieu of years at this moment, but with the 9.0 liberate of well ahead member of staff serving at table, EnterpriseDB at this moment ropes Oracle's Pro*C embedded SQL brainwashing language, which converts SQL to C or else C++ and at that time compiles it down to the iron to run fast and thwack in contradiction of the folder.
Two of the six plug community working on the PostgreSQL project bring about by EnterpriseDB, and Padir says with the aim of the company is utterly undaunted going on for its facility to haven prophesy databases to well ahead member of staff serving at table and end existing applications by its folder management logic as a replacement for of Larry Ellison's. In excess of the years, the company has urban an prophesy migration assessment with the aim of scans the databases, scripts, and code to reckon how testing of a haven a customer is facing. The assessment has a amount from 1, done with painless, to 10, this willpower cause various sweating. "We follow a set of 7s," explains Padir. "But we be inflicted with the expertise and we can perform in a minute going on for whatever thing if a customer wants it."
With well ahead member of staff serving at table 9.0, EnterpriseDB additionally includes a analogous folder loader, which can reduce the load phase by a reason of nine, depending on the hardware configuration. Well ahead member of staff serving at table already had a tool called xDB to photocopy data without delay from prophesy databases to PostgreSQL databases, and with the 9.0 liberate, at this moment xDB can similarly photocopy to Microsoft SQL member of staff serving at table databases.
The PostgreSQL district has additionally cooked up built-in duplication and pungent be there for folder clustering with the aim of is analogous to the Dataguard be included in lieu of Oracle's databases, and the large store implementation of the memcached caching member of staff serving at table running atop PostgreSQL has been tweaked to allow in lieu of member of staff serving at table nodes to befall added to the large store cluster with no having to halt the caching servers.
The HP-UX support is obtainable in the sphere of both the Standard and well ahead Editions of PostgreSQL Plus, so you don't be inflicted with to move out full-in to run the PostgreSQL folder on HP-UX. Padir tells El Reg with the aim of the folder willpower amount well up to 24 cores, and HP and EnterpriseDB are working to lengthen with the aim of more. While the amicable source PostgreSQL code willpower run on PA-RISC or else Itanium iron with wither HP-UX 10.X or else 11.X operating logic versions, EnterpriseDB is just at the bottom of HP-UX 11i v3 revise 1009 and just Itanium-based Integrity servers with PostgreSQL Plus 9.0.
Support in lieu of Oracle's and Fujitsu's Sparc platforms running Solaris 10 is appearance this summer, and AIX support has not been ended formally. (EnterpriseDB did a haven of its well ahead member of staff serving at table to Linux on Power and even beta tested it, but it has not been productized yet.) Red Hat endeavor Linux 6.X, Centos 5.X, SUSE Linux endeavor member of staff serving at table 11, Canonical Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and Microsoft Windows member of staff serving at table 2008 R1 and R2. The Windows versions, by the way, in the same way as 32-bit builds.
PostgreSQL Plus 9.0 Standard Edition expenditure $2,495 apiece member of staff serving at table socket with main 9x5 support and $2,995 apiece socket in lieu of premium 24x7 support. The well ahead Edition expenditure $3,995 apiece socket in lieu of main support and $4,495 apiece socket in lieu of premium support. If you mean support in lieu of the amicable source district edition of PostgreSQL, EnterpriseDB willpower befall fortunate to perform it, but with the aim of willpower cost you $3,250 apiece socket in lieu of main support and $3,750 in lieu of premium support.
Relatively than messing around, HP ought to bad deal available IBM's stake in the sphere of EnterpriseDB and in a minute conclusively follow itself a folder of its own to vend. Apotheker has software aspirations, and while he is by it, he ought to follow serious and bad deal Red Hat, too. With the aim of would bequeath HP the operating logic, middleware, and folder options to counter both prophesy and IBM. While EnterpriseDB has grown-up morally, from 75 customers in the sphere of 2006 to just about 800 by the conclusion of only remaining time, it may well grow a set earlier with the HP R&D and sales channel behind it. Wholesale Red Hat is in a minute obvious.
