PRESENTATION
Ingres is Open Source
by
John Murphy
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
and
others
Ingres is a well known Relational Data Base Management
System similar to Oracle, DB2, and many others.
Like Oracle, Ingres has been around for a long time,
has a significant user base and I (David Mandel) believe
it has more built-in and/or add-on tools than postgres or
mySQL.
Ingres has been available on Linux for quite some time,
but Ingres is now Open Source and Ingres Corporation
is developing an Open Source strategy for Ingres.
John Murphy will be in town and will tell us more about Ingres.
He is also hoping to bring an associate to discuss a new
generation of Ingres where they bundle a Linux distribution
from rPath as part of Ingres.
