Golightly) Newsgroups: comp.databases Subject: Ingres buyout! Message-ID: Date: 14 Sep 90 14:31:56 GMT Organization: Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 6 Picked up some really odd news this week. Ingres Corp. was purchased by ASK. ANybody out there have any useful information about what's going on? My understanding is that ASK markets management type software. THis suggests that Ingres is going to become the platform for a variety of commercial applications, and that there will be aggreessive marketing of those applications and consulting services to go along with them.
