EDB is mainly attractive to Oracle shops who want Oracle compatibility. In my previous work place
EDB turned out to be highly compatible with PLSQL, but performance was twice as slow. This was
ver 9.5 something. Also keep in kind EDB is not cheap. Once you are in EDB, you are in another
closed vendor and you are locked as long as you use PLSQL. Non EDB version of PG does not
support PLSQL.

pl/pgsql is no match to PLSQL in productivity. I am not a fan of Oracle RDBMS, but I
think PL/SQL is top notch. If you are already using bulk collect type of features, it won't
be easy to replicate it in PL/PGSQL.
That being said, PG offers other languages too, like Java, Python, Perl. You can try them.
