History of SQL
The paper, "A Relational Model of Data
for large Shared Data Banks," by Dr. E. F. Codd, was published
in June 1970 in the Association of Computer Machinery (ACM) journal,
Communications of the ACM. Codd's model is now accepted as the
definitive model for relational database management systems (RDBMS).
The language, Structured English Query Language(SEQUEL) was developed
by IBM Corporation, Inc. to use Codd's model. SEQUEL later became
SQL. In 1979, Relational Software, Inc. (now Oracle Corporation)
introduced the first commercially available implementation of
SQL. Today, SQL is accepted as the standard RDBMS language.
