Parent article: Ingres Database 9.3 released

A couple of years ago I had the misfortune of consulting for a company which used Ingres, the latest proprietary release before it was open-sourced. What a disgrace! Locking didn't work properly (using the Java driver), the management tools were horrid, the engine didn't scale above a few million registers.

Probably it has improved a lot, but frankly I don't see the point.

I currently work for a company that uses Ingres still.
Since the day that I started there I hated it, but because of the way it was used, could not be
replaced.
Fortunatly I could choose the db to use in other implementations
and have sistematically choosen an other db.
