While surfing through our web page I found some references about Postgres
(the original Berkley project) starting as Ingres. Now I wonder whether we
or let's say the original Postgres project still used Ingres or parts
thereof.
The original Postgres FAQ say
Q. What is the connection between POSTGRES and University Ingres?
A. There is none, aside from Prof. Stonebraker. There is no
compatibility between the two software packages, and the research
projects had differing objectives
This certainly sounds like these two are different projects by the same
Prof.
