Actually, no, it's not "consise" as to purpose; it doesn't actually
imply anything about what the purpose is.

I'd generally expect "Enterprise Edition" to indicate the addition of
transaction-oriented functionality.  2PC, automagic JavaBeans, that
sort of thing.

Plausible names might include:
 - PostgreStar
 - CubeSQL
 - PostCube
 - PostStar
