  POSTGRES
       
           An {active DBMS} developed at the {University of
          California 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, {Universal
          Server}.
       
          {PostgreSQL} is a further development of the original POSTGRES
          code as a {free software} alternative to commercial {DBMS}
          vendor offerings.
