That's sensible when you consider that postgresql used to be a SQL layer over postgres. Not sure if that is the case now.

Were they ever actually separate layers? I thought that PostgreSQL was a rename of Postgres that happened shortly (one-two versions) after they swapped query languages from the Ingres-derived QUEL to SQL.


Postgres95 had both if I remember. Sorry was nearly 20 years ago now - bit rusty :)


Or was it PostgresME?
