EDB Advanced Server is closely based on PostgreSQL 10.
EDB 10 also offers support for packages and synonyms. Packages and synonyms are supported in Change Script Generation, Reverse Engineering and in Reports.
Change Script Generation is based on PostgreSQL 10 and differences between EDB and Postgres might not be generated correctly.
Stored procedures
COST in stored procedures is rounded to 3 decimals during Reverse Engineering.
SET in stored procedures is loaded into AfterScript. Default value is 100.
By default procedures will execute with the privileges of the user that created them (SECURITY DEFINER). By default VOLATILE is set for procedures. By default procedures cannot be executed in parallel mode (PARALLEL UNSAFE). Default values are not generated in TDM.
