Well I was there in the early to mid '90s, and I don't remember exactly what everyone thought, but I know a good amount weren't that thrilled with it. It did work though and apparently some customers did use it with good results. I do recall one or two fans too.
Btw, don't get so touchy... I didn't say it was any worse than the other alternitives (don't get me start on some of the others).
This parent post is indeed flamebait, but it very accurately describes the life-cycle of Ingres.
I worked for several years at CA, and everybody, internally and externally, knew what a boatload of crap Ingres was. Most of our products were written to SQL Server, although Ingres was free to integrate in, since no one would go near the crap.
