  <title>Summary</title>

  <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 an
   open-source descendant of this original Berkeley code.
