- spearo77 6y agoYes, the abstract doesn't mention it, but the PDF has this– > 1 OPENING > > Postgres was Michael Stonebraker’s most ambitious project—his grand effort to build a one-size-fits-all database system.
- ryanmjacobs 6y agoYessir. Originally inspired by a db system called "Ingress", it was called "Postgres" then eventual PostgreSQL to emphasize the SQL part
- breakingcups 6y agoYes, although originally it did not support SQL but QUEL. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostgreSQL#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostgreSQL#History and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUEL_query_languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUEL_query_languages
- takeda 6y agoI wish how things would be if it was QUEL that would became the standard. The language looks closer to the access pattern that ORMs using.
