<b>Topic:</b> GPL'd "Ingress 2006" with John Murphy from <span id="st" name="st" class="st">Ingres</span>
Corporation
<br>
<br>
The presentation will introduce you to the newest Open Source (GPL)
database system for your use on LINUX — "<span id="st" name="st" class="st">INGRES</span> 2006" (<a href="http://www.ingres.com/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">www.<span id="st" name="st" class="st">
ingres</span>.com</a>).
<br>
<br>
Unlike MySQL or Postgres, <span id="st" name="st" class="st">Ingres</span> 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. <span id="st" name="st" class="st">Ingres</span> 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.
<br>
<br>
John will also discuss openly some of the difficulties DBA's have in
migrating from one DB to another.
<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
John will explain how you can download the Source, GPL version or a
trial version at <a href="http://www.ingres.com/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">www.<span id="st" name="st" class="st">ingres</span>.com</a>.
