While +PostgreSQL retains the powerful object-relational data model, rich data types +and easy extensibility of Postgres, it replaces the PostQuel query language +with an extended subset of SQL. + +The original Postgres code was the effort of many graduate students, +undergraduate students, and staff programmers working under the direction of +Professor Michael Stonebraker at the University of California, Berkeley. In +1995, Andrew Yu and Jolly Chen took on the task of converting the DBMS query +language to SQL and created a new database system which came to known as +Postgres95. Many others contributed to the porting, testing, debugging and +enhancement of the Postgres95 code. As the code improved, and 1995 faded into +memory, PostgreSQL was born. + +PostgreSQL development is presently being performed by a team of Internet +developers who are now responsible for all current and future development. The +development team coordinator is Marc G. Fournier (scrappy@PostgreSQL.ORG). +Support is available from the PostgreSQL developer/user community through the +support mailing list (questions@PostgreSQL.ORG). + +PostgreSQL is free and the complete source is available. + +More information and documentation, visit: http://www.PostgreSQL.ORG/ |
