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.
