While Postgres95 retains the +powerful data model and rich data types of POSTGRES, it replaces the +PostQuel query language with an extended subset of SQL. Postgres95 is free +and the complete source is available. + +Postgres95 development is being performed by a team of Internet developers +who all subscribe to the Postgres95 development mailing list. The current +coordinator is Marc G. Fournier (scrappy@ki.net). This team is now +responsible for all current and future development of Postgres95. + +The authors of Postgres95 1.01 were Andrew Yu and Jolly Chen. Many others +have contributed to the porting, testing, debugging and enhancement of the +code. The original Postgres code, from which Postgres95 is derived, was the +effort of many graduate students, undergraduate students, and staff +programmers working under the direction of Professor Michael Stonebraker at +the University of California, Berkeley. + +More information and documentation can be found at the postgres95 website, +at http://www.ki.net/postgres95/ |
