Hello

year ago I wrote a article about PostgreSQL history.

Now I am sending a link - translated by Google from Czech. I hope, so
informations from this article can be useful although it is translated
automatically.

Pavel,

I think the article is too wide. PostgreSQL history described very little, so I thought
at first it was wrote not by old member of our community :) For example, I think
that my first patch for postgres, which introduced locale support was important
for european users, Vadim Mikheev work on MVCC was very important (remove time-travel
for mvcc), nothing was written about our (me and Teodor) work on extendability of
postgres (GiST, GIN, SP-GiST), full-text search. I think every developer could write
a brief list of his contribution (important). Then we could obtain a big list, ordered
by date with links to hackers. This list could be commented by several sentences, so
we'll eventually have real PG history. Moreover, we could store it in one table and
have online version.

sure, I am not old member :-) I started at 2004.

This article is not fully complete - I didn't find good materials
about community postgresql history - there is only mailing list and
release notes, nothing more. At time when I wrote this article, I was
fascinated older history - about academic Postgres and Ingres - and
this time is perfectly described by Stonebraker in lot of documents.
So it is clean, so strong part of this document is about this era. I
am thinking so there is relatively enough knowledges about community -
it is not too long history, but older times are little bit hidden -
probably nobody in Czech Republic has good information about Ingres
history and about relations between PostgreSQL and Informix - so It
was my primary target.

I invite, with pleasure, any notices, infos from any PostgreSQL veterans :)

Regards

Pavel
