View, CA Lines: 6 I'm a bit surprised to see several days without a peep in this group about the recent, rather surprising, acquisition of Ingres by ASK Computers. What do you folks think about this? In hindsight, there were several clues that this was impending, but it certainly caught us by surprise -- and we're a long time ASK customer. Is this the beginning of the end of Ingres as a major database player?
