The company is now offering unlimited subscriptions, letting organizations run as many copies of the database server software as they need.

"This pricing deal is intended to introduce MySQL users and other enterprise database users to PostGres, said Karen Tegan Padir, vice president of products and marketing for EnterpriseDB.

"Now that Oracle has control of MySQL, organizations may want to look for more alternatives, she said.
