*Location:* Oracle Building 3, East Conference Room

*Topic:* GPL'd "Ingress 2006" with John Murphy from Ingres Corporation

The presentation will introduce you to the newest Open Source (GPL) 
database system for your use on LINUX --- "INGRES 2006" (www.ingres.com 
<http://www.ingres.com/>).

Unlike MySQL or Postgres, Ingres 2006 Delivers a Unique Solution: the 
power of an enterprise strength database (comparable to Oracle) coupled 
with the low cost and ease of use of open source software. Ingres has 
evolved from one of the first available relational database management 
systems (RDBMS). It has earned a reputation for being extremely 
dependable in supporting mission-critical applications.

John will also discuss openly some of the difficulties DBA's have in 
migrating from one DB to another.

The Open source community needs new members, if you have contributed to 
a Database or Data Warehousing tool, please consider joining our group. 
Recent improvements have come from University and individual participation.

John will explain how you can download the Source, GPL version or a 
trial version at www.ingres.com <http://www.ingres.com/>.

John Murphy is a Client Services Engineer from the Ingres Corporation. 
He has been at Ingres for two years helping introduce the "newest" Open 
Source database for LINUX. Prior to Ingres John has 25 years experience 
working for TIBCO, Oracle, Informix, and IBM. He has hands-on experience 
with Sybase, MySQL and MS SQL as well.
