EDB Postgres Advanced Server

EDB Postgres Advanced Server is a commercial distribution of PostgreSQL from EDB with Oracle compatibility and security features. EDB's page now brands it Enterprise Postgres (Oracle Compatible) within EDB Postgres AI, so buyers may see both names. The licence is proprietary and sold through an EDB subscription. EDB describes the product as reducing application rewrites when migrating from Oracle. It can be run self-managed, on Kubernetes or in the cloud. The documentation covers version 18, and its release notes list version 18.6.0, aligned with the PostgreSQL 18.6 release of 13 August 2026. The documentation page was last updated on 28 September 2026. Buyers should note that BART, EDB's backup tool, is not supported with PostgreSQL 14 and later, so teams relying on it need another backup approach. EDB does not publish pricing, so a quotation from EDB is needed to compare costs. Organisations weighing it against community PostgreSQL should consider whether the Oracle compatibility features and subscription support justify a paid licence for their migration plans.
