Raven Zachary, August 8, 2006 @ 4:08 am ETOver the past few weeks, there has been a significant amount of commercial activity relating to the open source database, PostgreSQL. EnterpriseDB raised $20 million US in its Series B funding round (press release), and signed a deal with Sun Microsystems to provide PostgreSQL support to Sun’s customers (article).

Update 1 (08/08/06): EnterpriseDB has posted a press release regarding the support agreement with Sun.
