Ingres, the University version, is the precursor to the company now
known as Ask/Ingres (at least, the last time I dealt with them, this is
what they were called). It uses a non-standard query language called
QUEL, which the "real" Ingres also speaks (in addition to SQL). It comes
with EQUEL.

University Ingres is rather limited in what data types it understands,
mostly just character strings, integers, and floats. No 'date' or
'dollars', but real UNIX users don't need 'date', they use seconds since
midnight 1 Jan 72. :-)

Someone is still maintaining it, since there were some patches released
for SunOS 4.x.
