QUEL and POSTQUEL are the two query languages in question, I believe.
Never having studied either, I have no clue how closely they are
related.
In any case, I'm pretty sure that Postgres was a completely new
implementation that used none of the Ingres code. The no-overwrite
storage management scheme was definitely a new concept in Postgres.
