A couple of early products were from UniSQL and Illustra. Some of the ideas were written-up in the Third Generation Database Manifesto (Mike Stonebraker, David Beech and others):

ftp://s2k-ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/postgres/papers/ERL-M90-28.ps.Z

Mike is running his company Cohera these days and David Beech has retired from Oracle now. Phil Bernstein is with Microsoft, as is Jim Gray. Mike Carey is with Propel. Not sure where Lawrence Rowe, Bruce Lindsay and Michael Brodie are.
