Q&A: Ingres chief executive Roger Burkhardt
,----[ Quote ]
| We looked at Linux and we could customise it to meet our needs. We could also
| get good support from vendors. The good news is that, when you do research
| for open source, you can easily try it out and get very good information
| about the product from the community behind it. All the feedback from the
| users is out in the community for all to see, so you never have to rely on a
| sales person who is just going to tell you what you want to hear. You can
| actually interact with other users in the community, and validate what is
| really there.

Open source Database Breakthrough: 10-80 times faster
,----[ Quote ]
| The Ingres VectorWise project team has worked with Intel to evaluate database
| performance on the new Intel Xeon processor 5500 series based platform. To
| date, the results of the project have demonstrated dramatic cost and
| performance capabilities as evidenced by nearly 80 fold speed up on a query
| modelled after the Q1 query of TPC-H3 suite on the Intel Xeon processor.

A Breakthrough in Database Technology
,----[ Quote ]
| The core innovations in VectorWise are the work, primarily, of two CWI
| researchers, Peter Boncz and Marcin Zukowski. They set out to produce a
| 100-fold improvement in database performance. Ingres engineers 18 months ago
| came upon their research, called the X100 Project. Says Burkhardt: âWe saw we
| could collaborate with them to take an academic project and make it
| commercial.â

Ingres "code sprint" yields new features
,----[ Quote ]
| Among the new features created at the event were a compressed backup option
| to save space when archiving databases, an enforced logging system for
| databases and the ability to suspend logging when copying a database, a
| command line history for the Ingres SQL utility and improved Soundex routines
| for better matching. Emma McGratten of Ingres, who organised the sprint
| said "It's a testament to the open source community when we can get together
| and make improvements on features and programs that are being used every day,
| by the people who depend on them".
