What is the difference between Standard Server and Advanced Server?
First, Advanced Server contains all the features included in Standard Server. Advanced Server is then optimized for large scale enterprise wide applications. It contains additional powerful features for database application development that also enable applications written for Oracle databases to run on top of PostgreSQL database engines. Many of the features enhance performance such as: DynaTune®, EDB*Loader, and Distributed Federated Queries. For more sophisticated programming, Advanced Server includes built in packages, programmable Bulk Collect and Bulk Bind functions, Query Optimization Hints, DRITA, explicit transaction control, and audit logging. Finally, Advanced Server provides a more sophisticated tool set including PostgreSQL Studio with an enhanced debugger for in context application debugging, the DBA Management Server, the DBA Monitoring console, the Migration Studio, and an Oracle® Replication console.
