Sun's Participation in the PostgreSQL Community
Sun Microsystems packages, distributes, and supports a version of the open source PostgreSQL database and some of its associated tools with Solaris as PostgreSQL for Solaris.
Sun engineers work in collaboration with the PostgreSQL
community and contribute their work to the PostgreSQL.org code commons.
For example, Sun has worked with the PostgreSQL community to add DTrace
probes and to optimize performance and enhance PostgreSQL to take
advantage of the advanced Solaris 10 OS technologies, such as Predictive
Self Healing, Solaris Containers and Service Manifest. Through the work
of Sun's benchmarking and performance engineering team and the
PostgreSQL community, PostgreSQL has been shown to perform at levels
directly comparable to closed source databases' at a small fraction of the price.
