Deborah number. In the 1990s, Stonebraker started a new company to commercialize Postgres, under the name Illustra. The company and technology were later purchased by Informix Corporation. Actian X - The new Ingres. Ingres 11 was released on 18 April 2017 and is now known as Actian X Hybrid Database. Ingres (database) Ingres Database ( ) is a proprietary SQL relational database management system intended to support large commercial and government applications.

It quantifies the observation that given enough time even a solid-like material might flow, or a fluid-like material can act solid when it is deformed rapidly enough. Materials that have low relaxation times flow easily and as such show relatively rapid stress decay. Definition. The Deborah number is the ratio of fundamentally different characteristic times. The Deborah number is defined as the ratio of the time it takes for a material to adjust to 	Deborah number

The numerator, relaxation time, is the time needed for a reference amount of deformation to occur under a suddenly applied reference load (a more fluid-like material will therefore require less time to flow, giving a lower Deborah number relative to a solid subjected to the same loading rate). The denominator, material time, is the amount  of time required to reach a given reference strain (a faster loading rate will therefore reach the reference strain sooner, giving a higher Deborah number). Equivalently, the relaxation time is the time required for the stress induced, by a suddenly applied reference strain, to reduce by a certain reference amount. The relaxation time is actually based on the rate of relaxation that exists at the moment of the suddenly applied load. This incorporates both the elasticity and viscosity of the material. At lower Deborah numbers, the material behaves in a more fluidlike manner, with an associated Newtonian viscous flow. At  higher Deborah numbers, the material behavior enters the non-Newtonian regime, increasingly dominated by elasticity and demonstrating solidlike behavior. For example, for a Hookean elastic solid, the relaxation time will be infinite and it will vanish for a Newtonian viscous fluid. For liquid water, is typically 10 s, for lubricating oils passing through gear teeth at high pressure it is of the order of 10 s and for polymers undergoing plastics processing, the relaxation time will be of the order of a few seconds. Therefore, depending on the situation, these liquids may exhibit elastic properties, departing from purely viscous behavior . While is similar to the Weissenberg number and is often confused with it in technical literature, they have different physical interpretations. The Weissenberg number indicates the degree of anisotropy or orientation generated by the deformation, and is appropriate to describe flows with a constant stretch history, such as simple shear. In contrast, the Deborah number should be used to describe flows with a non-constant stretch history, and physically represents the rate at which elastic energy is stored or released. History. The Deborah number was originally proposed by Markus Reiner, a professor at Technion in Israel, who chose the name  inspired by a verse in the Bible, stating "The mountains flowed before the Lord" in a song by the prophet Deborah in the Book of Judges; הָרִ֥ים נָזְל֖וּ מִפְּנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה "hā-rîm nāzəlū mippənê Yahweh"). Time-temperature superposition. The Deborah number is particularly useful in conceptualizing the time–temperature superposition principle. Time-temperature superposition has to do with altering experimental time scales using reference temperatures to extrapolate temperature-dependent mechanical properties of polymers. A material at low temperature with a long experimental or relaxation time behaves like the same material at high temperature and short experimental or relaxation time if  the Deborah number remains the same. This can be particularly useful when working with materials which relax on a long time scale under a certain temperature. The practical application of this idea arises in the Williams–Landel–Ferry equation. Time-temperature superposition avoids the inefficiency of measuring a polymer's behavior over long periods of time at a specified temperature by utilizing the Deborah number.
