Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Difference Between DBMS/RDBMS
Oracle was the first commercial Realtional Database Management System.
And it was relational from day one (version two :), and it was built with
relational theory in mind. IBM was the first to implement RDBMS though.
It was called System R, or something, later it became known as DB2.
Take a look at this paper:
http://www.mcjones.org/System_R/SQL_Reunion_95/index.html
Very fascinating reading. They tell how Larry was trying to get tle list of DB2 error codes so that Oracle would be compatible with it. Also a bit about Larry luring IBM engeneers promising that they would become millionares with Oracle. He was right.
