I suspect that it is still at least 75% postgres codewize, no?

so postgres-QL is based on a project that is based on PostQuel

as the ease of initial transition from PostQuel to SQL shows, it is not
"based on" SQL, it just happens to use SQL as a query language.
It did not even loose too much features in transition.

IMHO PG is based on solid relational database technology.
