Comp.databases.ingres

From Ingres Community Wiki

comp.databases.ingres (c.d.i.) is an NNTP Usenet newsgroup. It is by far the oldest Ingres forum and is completely open (i.e. independent and unmoderated). There is an archive of over 35,000 Google-searchable Ingres postings. To use it you need a newsreader (MS Outlook Express works well but there are many others). You also need access to an ISP that carries the comp.databases.ingres news feed.

If you can't get comp.databases.ingres from your own ISP's news server, refer to http://news.aioe.org. They operate an NNTP server-of-last-resort. No authentication is required, but do respect their rules.

If you can't use a newsreader at your location for some reason, or prefer not to, then Google Groups provides browser-based access to the comp.databases.ingres newsgroup.

comp.databases.ingres is also mirrored by the info-ingres mailing list. This means that all posts to c.d.i are received as emails from the mailing list, and vice versa. If email is a better vehicle for you than NNTP, you can subscribe to info-ingres at this Kettle River Consulting page.
