Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Ingres remains the most comprehensive open source database project with good coverage in transaction processing, availability, security, programmability, and data warehousing, but it lags in complete in-memory database support and ease of use. Ingres has the longest history among all open source database projects, spanning more than two decades, but it has largely been a commercial database product. Last year, Ingres was spun off from CA to form an independent entity, which will help revive its focus and develop the much-needed ecosystem to compete against MySQL. Ingres best suits customers that are looking for databases to meet high-volume transactions for online transaction processing (OLTP) applications, and want to build small to midsize data warehouses.
