I found today that postgres EnterpriseDB supports Amazon EC2. On a
shoestring budget EnterpriseDB is just as much an option as Oracle ;-(
So, question is what makes EnterpriseDB more suitable for the cloud than
plain vanilla postgreSQL?
Anyone?
With best regards.

John,
Is it possible to host postgreSQL on Amazon's cloud? What are the issues
involved?
in theory, sure. anything is possible.
in practice, as I understand it from my relatively superficial reading,
fast
storage is fairly expensive and limited in the EC2 compute cloud, and
also
not real persistent
That also was my understanding. But just today a message from AWS
dropped in my inbox:
"....Starting today, you can now launch Amazon EC2 running Windows or
SQL Server instances in the the EU Region, ...."
So there must be some way to run a relational database with EC2, as
the storage requirements of SQL Server and PostgreSQL are not THAT
different.
