+<Para>
+<ProductName>Postgres</ProductName>, 
+ developed originally in the UC Berkeley Computer Science Department,
+ pioneered many of the object-relational concepts
+ now becoming available in some commercial databases.
+It provides SQL92/SQL3 language support,
+ transaction integrity, and type extensibility.
+ <ProductName>PostgreSQL</ProductName> is a public-domain, open source descendant
+ of this original Berkeley code.
