Yep, there is ingres alright.  It has the QUEL query language which gives
much of traditional SQL's functionality, as well as the equel preprocessor
for embedding QUEL in a C program.

The situation with ingres for 386bsd is a bit confusing.  I *believe*
there is a set of patches for ingres8.9 which will make it work.
I stumbled upon a patched set of source code (thanks to alm@netcom.com)
but I don't know if it being archived anywhere currently.

But it definately works if you can get it.
