POSTGRES

database An active DBMS developed at the University ofCalifornia at Berkeley by a team led by Michael Stonebraker

(1986-1994). Postgres was later taken by Illustra and

developed into a commercial product, which in turn was bought

by Informix and integrated into their product, UniversalServer.

PostgreSQL is a further development of the original POSTGRES

code as a free software alternative to commercial DBMS

vendor offerings.
