Hey there folks,

The manual contains a "Brief History" of postgres and notes that the name Postgres was retained as an official name after Postgres95 added official SQL support, and because 95 wouldn't stand the test of time.

It makes mention of the original professor who spearheaded the project under a DARPA grant, but it would probably do well to know where the name came from.

If there's somewhere where this should be suggested, let me know.

(Wikipedia has some of this history -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingres_(database))
