90 <Title>Summary</Title>
93 <ProductName>Postgres</ProductName>,
94 developed originally in the UC Berkeley Computer Science Department,
95 pioneered many of the object-relational concepts
96 now becoming available in some commercial databases.
97 It provides SQL92/SQL3 language support,
98 transaction integrity, and type extensibility.
99 <ProductName>PostgreSQL</ProductName> is a public-domain, open source descendant
100 of this original Berkeley code.
105 <title>Introduction</title>
108 This installation procedure makes some assumptions about the desired configuration
109 and runtime environment for your system. This may be adequate for many installations,
110 and is almost certainly adequate for a first installation. But you may want to
111 do an initial installation up to the point of unpacking the source tree
112 and installing documentation, and then print or browse the
113 <citetitle>Administrator's Guide</citetitle>.
