  POSTGRES
  
     <database> 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.
