and small quote from previous reference


http://www.mcjones.org/System_R/



 System R is a database system built as a research project at IBM San
 Jose Research (now IBM Almaden Research Center) in the 1970's. System
 R introduced the SQL language and also demonstrated that a relational
 system could provide good transaction processing performance.




.... which might be interpreted that it demonstrated a reaonable
paradigm match up between system/r's transaction processing and
financial infrastructure transaction processing.



now it is obvious that system/r transaction processing capability
didn't exist in spreedsheet implementations ... however both basic
information organizations just happened to conform pretty well to
standard paradigm of some (financial) market segments that had money to
spend on new products.
