CEO: Larry Ellison
Headquarters: Redwood City, CA, United States of

Founded: June 16, 1977, California, United States

4. History
Ellison took inspiration from the 1970 paper written
by Edgar F. Codd on relational database management
systems (RDBMS) named "A Relational Model of Data
for Large Shared Data Banks."
He heard about the IBM System R database from an
article in the IBM Research Journal provided by Ed
Oates (a future co-founder of Oracle). System R also
derived from Codd's theories, and Ellison wanted to
make Oracle's product 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 Oates under the
name Software Development Laboratories (SDL).

5. In 1979 SDL changed its name to Relational Software,
Inc.(RSI). In 1982, RSI renamed itself Oracle Systems
Corporation to align itself more closely with its flagship
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. The company is officially named Oracle, but
sometimes referred to as Oracle Corporation, which is in
fact the name of the holding company.
Part of Oracle Corporation's early success arose from using
the C programming language to implement its products.
This eased porting to different operating systems (most of
which support C).
