From the Postgres 4.2 FAQ (still alive....):

Q. What is the connection between POSTGRES and University Ingres?

A. There is none, aside from Prof. Stonebraker. There is no
compatibility between the two software packages, and the research
projects had differing objectives. We do not support University
Ingres at all. Questions about it should be sent to the USENET
newsgroup "comp.databases" or "comp.databases.ingres".
