At the bottom of that Register article I saw this article: http://www.regdeveloper.co.uk/2008/01/24/stonebraker_dewitt_mapreduce/ In which it says: "Ingres inventor and Postgres architect Mike Stonebraker" So this Stonebraker guy is the Postgres Architect? Interesting stuff on the Register :-)

Hmm, I'm guessing there are still a lot of things that are directly related to Stonebraker's work. I'm fairly sure there were code comments about PostQUEL commands somewhere. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support

Yes in the early 70's Michael Stonebraker and Eugene Wong started Ingres at Berkeley - then he left Berkeley to start Ingres Corp. After selling that in the mid 80's he returned to Berkeley and with Lawrence A. Rowe started Postgres. He left in the early 90's using that early Postgres code to start Illustra. After Berkeley dropped the Postgres project it was picked it up by a few developers and grew into PostgreSQL as you know it today. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/history.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Stonebraker -- Shane Ambler pgSQL (at) Sheeky (dot) Biz Get Sheeky @ http://Sheeky.Biz
