In the begining, there was Word. The Word was a trinity, comprised of the first letters of 3 other words (International Business Machines). And the word was God. And the God said: let there be SQL. And then God contracted Ted Codd and Chris Date to develop it. Then SQL did not look very good,so the IBM sold it for $100 to 3 of his own children (Larry Ellison, Ed Oates, Bob Miner) who established the company called "Relational Technologies Inc." which created the first relational database called "Oracle" on PDP-11. The software was written in the assembly language. Few month afterwards, there was Oracle 10g.
