There are different functions provided by both the Ingres and MySQL

Yes and then some - don't just take my word for it since I work for
Ingres. If you wish to get the opinion of Ingres users go to
comp.databases.ingres
(http://groups.google.com/group/comp...s.ingres/topics) or
Ingres's own forums (http://community.ingres.com/)
