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.

Nice article, but the author should get some facst straight. Postgres was
never sold as Ingres. :-)

Yes, he got confused, and never mentioned Illustra.

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.
