I'll add the word "relational" to #19 to clear this point up. Cheers Emma Yes, I meant the DBMS core engineering team which has had a few additions in the intervening years, but most of the staff augmentation has been for functionality around the DBMS rather than the DBMS kernel itself.

I’ll add the word “relational” to #19 to clear this point up.

So you're saying that almost nobody has been added to the engineering team in the intervening 14+ years? :) I presume them you're talking about kernel engineering or something rather than every last UI designer or QA type. By the way, upon further reflection your #19 is also dubious. Datacom/DB seemed to have pretty real distributed DBMS capabilities before the relational products ever did. Perhaps other inverted-list products such as ADABAS and/or Model 204 did as well. Hi Emma!

CA augmented the engineering team right after the acquisition with a number of very talented and experienced folks from the IDMS and DATACOM development teams. They're approaching their 15 year anniversary in Ingres this summer and the fact that there are in fact quite a few of us who pre-date the ASK Group acquisition by CA which pushes us just over the 15 year mark. In hindsight I probably should have left it at 15 years. Its good that you called me up on that one.
