cs2026 - Ingres 3.0404 Database System for Linux

This product is distributed persuant to the CATOSL (Computer Associates Trusted Open Source License). Ingres was released as Open Source Software for the first time in August, 2004.

Relational Database

The "relational" data model was offered as a solution to a variety of problems, in a seminal article published by Ted Codd in 1970, The relational model unified data and metadata so that there was only one form of data representation. It defined a non-procedural data access language based on more or less algebraic notation. It was easier for end-users to visualize and understand than the index/list model. Programs could be written in terms of the "abstract model" of the data, rather than the actual database design. For the first time, programs were largely insensitive to changes in the database design.

Where Ingres fits in the Historical Scheme of things

Project Ingres started at UC Berkeley in 1972. It was inspired by Codd's work on the relational database model. Several faculty members started a project to design and build a relational database system. In the process, they invented a query language (QUEL), relational optimization techniques, a language binding technique, and sophistocated storage methods. They also work on the idea of distributed databases.

The Ingres academic system formed the basis for the Ingres product now owned by Computer Associates. Students trained on Ingres became the "experts" who would eventually provide technical leadership in the major database companies (AT&T, Britton Lee, HP, Informix, IBM, Oracle, Tandem, Sybase). The Ingres project went on to develop distributed databases, database inference, active databases, and extensible databases.

You can learn a lot more by checking with the North American Ingres Users Association . The Various Modules are distributed as RPM files.
