Quote: "Of course, there was a silver lining to the whole saga. Stonebraker had forked the Ingres codebase in 1982 to create his company. Defeated by the bruising database wars of the 80s, he returned to Berkeley in 1985, and started a post-Ingres database project. Naturally, he named that database post-gres — as in, after Ingres.

And thus PostgreSQL was born."

And 35 years later PostgreSQL is kicking Oracle's butt at every corner.
