- History of PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL was developed by the PostgreSQL Global Development Group, which is led by a computer science professor named Michael Stonebraker at the University of California, Berkeley [UCB]. The professor's stonebreaker started in 1986 as a follow-up project and a post-Ingres project to overcome the problems of the existing database system.

Initially, it was called as Postgres, but in 1996, the project was renamed to PostgreSQL. Then again, in 2007, they did some analysis, and the development team decided to preserve the name as PostgreSQL. And now, it is the most innovative open-source database available in the market.
