Talk:Ingres

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Postgres

After returning to Berkeley, Stonebraker started a post-Ingres project to address the problems with the relational database model that had become increasing clear during the early 1980s. Primary among these was the relational model's inability to understand "types", combination of simpler data that make up a single unit. Today we typically refer to these as objects.

"...the problems with the relational database model" - I do not believe this was the case, there was no problem other than ignorance of the fundamentals.

"Primary among these was the relational model's inability to understand "types"..." - complete rubbish, should be removed.

Replace with this para:

== Postgres ==

After returning to Berkeley, Stonebraker started a post-Ingres project to address limitations of existing database management implementations.

[edit] Split?

I think that University Ingres, Ingres (Computer Associates) and Postgres should have separate articles. 132.205.45.110 18:10, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
