History of Oracle Corporation

         Larry Ellison who is the CEO of Oracle Corporation through out the history took the inspiration from the paper on the relational database management systems(RDBMS) named "A Relational Model of Data for Large shared data banks" which was written by Edgar F Codd in 1970. Ellison had heard about IBM system R database from an article in the IBM Research Journal  provided by Ed Qates(a future co founder of Oracle Corporation).

         IBM system R also derived from codd's theories. It is a database system built as a research project at IBM San Jose Research Center(now IBM Almaden research center) in 1970.It was also the first system to demonstrate that a relational database management system could provide good transaction processing performance. Ellison wanted to make Oracle's products compatible with System R, but IBM stopped this by keeping the error codes for their DBMS secret.

        Ellison co-founded Oracle Corporation in 1977 with Bob miner and Ed Qates under the name Software development laboratories(SDL). In 1979 SDL changed its name to Relational Software Inc. In 1982, RSI renamed itself Oracle systems to align itself more closely with its product Oracle Database. At this stage Bob Miner served as the company's senior programmer. In 1995, Oracle Systems Corporation changed its name to Oracle Corporation.
