This is wrong. According to Andrew Yu and others who date back to the
original POSTGRES, development of Postgres involved several of the same
team members as INGRES (most notably Stonebraker himself) but the two
database systems share no code. So the two systems share some ideas and
algorithms, but Postgres is a ground-up rewrite without borrowed code.
