Description :
PostgreSQL Data Base Management System (formerly known as Postgres, then as
Postgres95).
PostgreSQL is an enhancement of the POSTGRES database management system, a
next-generation DBMS research prototype. While PostgreSQL retains the
powerful data model and rich data types of POSTGRES, it replaces the PostQuel
query language with an extended subset of SQL. PostgreSQL is free and the
complete source is available.
PostgreSQL development is being performed by a team of Internet developers who
all subscribe to the PostgreSQL development mailing list. The current
coordinator is Marc G. Fournier (scrappyAATTpostgreSQL.org). This team is now
responsible for all current and future development of PostgreSQL.
The authors of PostgreSQL 1.01 were Andrew Yu and Jolly Chen. Many others have
contributed to the porting, testing, debugging and enhancement of the code.
The original Postgres code, from which PostgreSQL is derived, 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.
The original name of the software at Berkeley was Postgres. When SQL
functionality was added in 1995, its name was changed to Postgres95. The name
was changed at the end of 1996 to PostgreSQL.
PostgreSQL runs on Solaris, SunOS, HPUX, AIX, Linux, Irix, FreeBSD, and most
flavours of Unix.
