In July 2011, Steve Shine became chief executive. In November 2010, Garnett & Helfrich Capital acquired the last 20% of equity in Ingres Corporation that it did not already own. Ingres announced they had acquired the VectorWise technology in 2010, which had spun out from the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI, the Dutch National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science) in 2008. He promoted open source software, and helped form Open Source for America in 2009. In July 2006, Roger Burkhardt became president. Terry Garnett served as interim chief executive, and CA retained a 25% interest.
Ingres Corporation was spun out of CA as a separate private company in November 2005, with private equity firm Garnett & Helfrich Capital as largest shareholder. Despite a loyal customer base, CA failed to develop the technology much further. ABF was deprecated by the OpenROAD business unit in the early nineties.Ĭomputer Associates (CA) acquired the ASK Group in 1994. Several other database vendors marketed comparable 4GLs at around the same time, such as Pick System Builder, Clipper, and DBASE III. ABF was deprecated by OpenROAD in the early nineties. ABF source code was interpreted into a 3GL language ( C or COBOL), which is then compiled so snippets of the native language may be directly embedded in the ABF code. It provided an ASCII form painter, which automatically bound form fields to a database using ABF, a programming language, with embedded SQL, simplifying the task of making a " CRUD" application for textual data. The suite included applications-by-forms (ABF), an early 4GL computer programming language. OpenROAD was the small-machine offering of the Ingres database.
The deal met resistance from a shareholder, but did complete by November 1990. RTI was renamed Ingres Corporation late in 1989.ĪSK Computer Systems announced in September 1990 a deal in which ASK would acquire Ingres, funded partially by investments from Hewlett-Packard and Electronic Data Systems. īy this time, RTI had fierce competition in the database management system (DBMS) market, including Oracle Corporation (which had started with the similar name Relational Software Incorporated), Informix Corporation, and Sybase, but was one of the largest DBMS companies. Its initial public offering was held in May 1988 to raise $28 million. Relational Technology, Incorporated (RTI), was founded in 1980 by Michael Stonebraker and Eugene Wong, and professor Lawrence A. After a course of name changes and acquisitions, including VectorWise BV, Versant, Pervasive, and ParAccel, Actian came into existence as a multinational software firm. Ingres was developed at the University of California, Berkeley and commercialized by Relational Technology Inc.
