History of Data Base
OF
DATABASE
In 1960's
*Computerized database started in the 1960s, when the use of
computers became a more cost-effective option for private
organizations.
*On the other hand, System R used the SEQUEL query language,
and it contributed to the development of SQL/DS, DB2, Allbase,
Oracle, and Non-Stop SQL. It was also in this decade that
Relational Database Management System, or RDBMS, became a
recognized term.
In 1976's
*DB2 became the flagship database product for IBM, and the
introduction of the IBM PC resulted in the establishments of many new
database companies and the development of products such as
PARADOX, RBASE 5000, RIM, Dbase III and IV, OS/2 Database
Manager, and Watcom SQL.
In Early 1990's
*Around this time, new client tools for application development were
released, and these included the Oracle Developer, PowerBuilder,
VB, and others.
*The use of cgi, gcc, MySQL, Apache, and other systems brought open
source solution to the Internet. With the increased use of point-of-sale
technology, online transaction processing and online analytic
processing began to come of age.
In 2000's
*Today, databases are everywhere and are used to enhance our day-
to-day life. From personal cloud storage to predicting the weather,
many of the services we utilize today are possible due to databases.
Presently, there are many new players in the non-relational database
space offering specific solutions. Some of the current relational
databases include giants such as Oracle, MySQL, and DB2.
