- copperx 9y ago"Gres" isn't a word; I don't understand why you abbreviate PostgreSQL as "PG".
- tankenmate 9y agoGres (as in ingress / postgres) in this case comes from the Latin Gradi (Proto Indo European - ghredh) and means "to step" or "go". Gradi / Ghredh is also the same root used in words like transgress, degrade, gradual, centigrade, congress, etc.
- nigwil_ 9y agoTo clarify further the “gres” in Postgres and Ingres (the database management systems) are from the original acronym and that sub-part being Graphics REtrieval System.
- harperlee 9y agoThe project itself makes that abbreviation often, such as in e.g. the pgdump command.
- zie 9y agoHow would you abbreviate it? The project uses PG as it's abbreviation like @harperlee mentioned. I apologize for the confusion over what I meant.
