There is an article about open source database on the LinuxWorld web site: http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-2000-05/lw-05-database.html It mentions PostgreSQL. I was interviewed for the article. -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026

Nice article, but the author should get some facst straight. Postgres was never sold as Ingres. :-) Michael -- Michael Meskes Michael@Fam-Meskes.De Go SF 49ers! Go Rhein Fire! Use Debian GNU/Linux!

From the Postgres 4.2 FAQ (still alive....): http://s2k-ftp.CS.Berkeley.EDU:8000/postgres/postgres-v4r2/postgres.faq --- 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. We do not support University Ingres at all. Questions about it should be sent to the USENET newsgroup "comp.databases" or "comp.databases.ingres". --- It's a common mistake. -Ronabop --2D426F70|759328624|00101101010000100110111101110000 Brought to you from iBop the iMac, a MacOS, Win95, Win98, LinuxPPC machine, which is currently in LinuxPPC land.
