Course: Database Design and Management (Oracle) (10052) > Section: Exploring Database Technologies

Research should compile facts about the origin of modern databases, such as

- the first mention of a relational database in an article published by Edgar F. “Ted” Codd in 1970, which led to IBM’s System R
- information about System R’s evolution into DB2
- Honeywell’s first commercially available database in 1976
- developments through the 1980s and 1990s
- Oracle database products and other major companies, such as Sybase and Microsoft
- the influence of the Internet and commercial online businesses.
