      If Oracle works for the application and you want to save money, you’ll stick to SQL. Probably Postgres, MySQL, or MariaDB.

        All of those are open source, so nothing to sell really (well, except MySQL, which is Oracle).

        EnterpriseDB is the closest you can get to “selling” Postgres.

          I’m sure EDB isn’t the only one in town selling support contracts for open source applications. It is a lucrative business.
