EnterpriseDB Corporation, an enterprise-class database company,
announced today that its PostgreSQL-based RDBMS was analyzed by
Coverity Prevent, the world’s most advanced static software
analysis tool, and found to contain only 20 defects in more
than 775,000 lines of code. This is the lowest defect density
(one defect per nearly 39,000 lines of code) reported by
Coverity for an open source relational database. Each of the 20
defects has been remedied, rendering the product “Coverity
Inspected” by the terms of Coverity’s rigorous certification
program. The fixes will be reflected in the next releases of
PostgreSQL and EnterpriseDB 2005, expected later this summer.
More information and free beta downloads of EnterpriseDB 2005
are available at the company’s website, www.enterprisedb.com.
