In his previous work at the University of California at Berkeley,
Stonebraker developed two of his most influential systems, Ingres and
Postgres, which provide the foundational ideas — and, in many cases,
specific source code — that spawned several contemporary database
products, including IBM’s Informix and EMC’s Greenplum.

Postgres, meanwhile, integrated Ingres’ ideas with object-oriented
programming, enabling users to natively map objects and their
attributes into databases. This new notion of “object-relational”
databases could be used to represent and manipulate complex data, like
computer-aided design, geospatial data, and time series.
