...but it is far from being a complete implementation of SQL. I just started to work with POSTGRES95. It's beta test versions only, but

beta-0.03 works quite well on Linux. Check out        
 	http://s2k-ftp.cs.berkeley.edu:8000/postgres95 

Here is an excerpt:

Postgres95 is in beta testing right now. The most current version is beta0.03. You can ftp Postgres95 anonymously from s2k-ftp.CS.Berkeley.edu as

   pub/postgres95/postgres95-beta0.03.tar.gz

It is also available from the following mirror sites:
