Celebración 1er Aniversario de la compañía de Larry Ellison

1977 Software Development Laboratories, the precursor to Oracle, is founded by Larry Ellison, Bob Miner, and Ed Oates. 

1978 Oracle Version 1, written in assembly language, runs on PDP-11 under RSX, in 128K of memory. Implementation separates Oracle code and user code. Oracle V1 is never officially released. 

1979 Oracle Version 2, the first commercial SQL relational database management system, is released.
The company changes its name to Relational Software Inc. (RSI).

1982 Relational Software Inc. (RSI) gets a new name—Oracle Systems—and hosts its first user conference, in San Francisco.

1983 Oracle Version 3, built on the C programming language, is the first RDBMS to run on mainframes, minicomputers, and PCs—giving customers the ability to use the software in almost any enterprise computing environment.

Left to right: Ed Oates, Bruce Scott, Bob Miner, and Larry Ellison celebrate the company’s first anniversary.

1984 Larry Ellison tells Computerworld magazine, “I’ve said that by 1985 everybody will be buying relational DBMS. It looks like that’s coming true.”

El resto ya es una historia conocida.  Sin embargo una nota interesante: Saben que se le atribuye al personaje que tiene sosteniendo el queque?
Si ese mismo Bruce Scott.

Bruce Scott -el del queque- fué el empleado #4 de la compañía y fue co-autor y co-arquitecto de las versiones, Oracle V1, V2 and V3.

El esquema SCOTT (tablas EMP y DEPT), con el password TIGER, fueron creadas por él.
