  BEDFORD, MA, Feb 09 (MARKET WIRE) --
EnterpriseDB, the leading worldwide provider of PostgreSQL and Oracle compatibility products and services, today announced general availability of Postgres Plus Advanced Server 9.1. The release features significant performance enhancements, including the option to free even more processing power for some applications with the industry's only synchronous replication control on a per-transaction basis. This latest version also speeds read performance and write scalability, enables unlogged tables for greater performance and flexibility and expands the Oracle-compatible feature set.

    "Our newest version of Postgres Plus Advanced Server adds new, high-end capabilities for performance, reliability, security and scalability. With this release we are enabling our end users to accelerate the expansion of their Postgres Plus deployments at a price point exponentially less than the traditional proprietary databases," said Ed Boyajian, president and CEO of EnterpriseDB. "These enhancements also give new users even more reason to start looking at Postgres Plus as an alternative for their data centers."

    Postgres Plus Advanced Server 9.1 includes the following enterprise-class enhancements:


--  Synchronous Replication - Provides maximum control over transaction
    environments by enabling end users to activate synchronous replication
    on a per-transaction basis (or per connection or per user) -- a level
    of flexibility and control not available in any other database. This
    ensures no data is lost should a master fail, and provides performance
    gains by allowing the application or end user to select what
    transactions are replicated. This process confirms a transaction has
    been successfully applied to the slave server's journal before it is
    committed to the master.
--  Unlogged Tables - Gives end users the option to maximize performance
    by choosing 'unlogged' when creating tables, thus no write-ahead
    logging (WAL) records are kept. This becomes useful when applications
    must perform quickly and data loss, should the system fail, is not a
    concern, such as an online store where the emphasis is on preserving
    purchase data, but other information like the product reviews a
    customer viewed, which can generate significantly more data, is less
    critical.
