Visionary

From

Berkley types,Dr. Stonebraker developed some code in 1991 called Visionary.
That 
allowed a user to visually datamine a database engine's data. Does the
original
source to this project still exist? And could Postgres benefit from it
as a
datamining tool for Postgres clients?

I believe it is called tioga.  Not sure, but I saw a web page about it
once.  Check the postgresql e-mail archives on our web site.  Maybe
hackers or general list.

I think you may be referring to the DataSplash project (see:
http://datasplash.cs.berkeley.edu).

The next release is due out next month, and should work with PostgreSQL 6.x
out of the box.

The contact person is Mybrid Spalding (mybrid@cs.berkeley.edu).
