Progress SQL? I have never heard of it. Are you sure it not PostgreSQL?

[Side Note] This sounds like a job interview I went on about 17 years ago.
I meet a person at the B & N over near North Point Mall. He was looking for
SA to help take care of their system. It was a Red Hat system, but after
talking with him for almost two hours. I came to find out it was Red Hat 6
system. At that time RHEL 4 came out, the last version Red Hat was 9.

I passed on the job because, I told him it was going to be hard to take
care of such of system.
