Ingres: An Open Source Rival to Oracle
,----[ Quote ]
| I’ve been following the path of Ingres Corp. ever since Terry Garnett and
| David Helfrich of Garnett & Helfrich Capital bought it from CA a few years
| back and made it into an independent company once again. Ingres and MySQL are
| the main open-source alternatives to Oracle in the database software market.
| Now that Oracle is buying Sun Microsystems, which owns MySQL, you’ve got to
| figure that Oracle will starve MySQL once it owns it—eliminating what had
| until now been a potent rival in the Web site market. Ingres is emerging as
| the last bastion of opposition within the open source world.
