Oracle: Past, Present and
Future:
The beginnings:
When CEO Lawrence J. Ellison and a few associates formed Oracle
in 1977, they were out to prove wrong the prevailing theory that
relationship databases could not be commercially viable.
Larry Ellison, Bob Miner and Ed Oates found Software Development
Laboratories. Inspired by a research paper written in 1970 by an IBM researcher
titled " A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks", the
three decide to build a new type of database called a relational database
system. Their orginal project is for the government and is titled Oracle. The
founders believe that Oracle, meaning source of wisdom, would be an
appropriate name for their project and receive permission from the CIA to use
it.
What's in a name?
In 1978, Software Development Laboratories moved from their office
in Santa Clara to a new one on Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park, the heart of
Silicon Valley. In an attempt to explain what their company does, they changed
their name to Relational Software Inc., or RSI. The newly-christened company
shipped its first commercial SQL-based database, V2, in 1979 (V1 was never
officially released). In 1982 RSI changed its name to Oracle Systems
Corporation, which later become Oracle Corporation.
Tapping the Internet:
Tapping the Internet:
In 1983, Oracle decided to make RDBMS portable, and introduced V3
- the first portable database to run on PCs, mini computers and mainframes.
Today, Oracle targets high-end workstations and mini computers as the server
platforms on which to run its database systems. Along with few others, Oracle
has long been a champion of network computers. It now boasts that is was the
world's first software company to develop and deploy 100 percent Internet-enabled
enterprise software across its entire product line: database, server,
enterprise business applications, applications development and decision support
tools. In fact, CEO Ellison has said, "If the Internet turns out not to be
the future of computing, we're toast. But if it is, we're golden."
