Thread: Binary Postgresql Package
We are planning to use Postgres for one of our production database system. I noticed when I go to http://www.postgresql.org/download/, the one click binary package for Linux is actually an enterpriseDB package (http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/pgdownload.do#linux-x64) I also noticed that EnterpriseDB mentioned on http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/purchase.do that this binary file needs to be licensed if it is going to be used for production. My question now is, is this binary package that is linked from postgresql.org free to be used for production? Or do we need to license it appropriately? Thanks

That's referring to Advanced Server which is a separate product. > My question now is, is this binary package that is linked from > postgresql.org free to be used for production? Yes, both the PostgreSQL and Postgres Plus Standard Server packages are free. Only Advanced Server requires a licence. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com
