Architecture &

• Initially developed at IBM by Donald D. Chamberlin and
Raymond F. Boyce in the early 1970s under the name of
SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language)
• Designed to manipulate and retrieve data stored in IBM's
original quasi-relational database management system, System
R
• Based on Edgar F. Codd's relational model, described in his
1970 paper "A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data
Banks”
• Was renamed SQL because "SEQUEL" was a trademark of an
UK-based aircraft company.
• SQL becomes a standard of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) in 1986 and for International Organization for
Standards (ISO) in 1987

What is a database?
A collection of objects known as tables. For the
OS, a database is simply a file.
What is a table?
A table is a set of data elements (values) that is
organized using a model of vertical columns
(which are identified by their name) and
horizontal rows.
Database related terms

Architecture &
Best Practices
