        Good point. A case: just got Greenwald's, Stackowiak's & Stern's _Oracle Essentials_, 3rd edition.

        A quote:

'The concept of the relational database was first described around 1970 by Dr. Edgar F. Codd in an IBM research publication entitled "System R4 Relational." Initially, it was unclear whether any system based on these concepts could achieve commercial success.'

        The whole chapter can be found at http://www.developer.com/db/article.php/1582621.

        The book is still useful, and the guys probably are top notch DBAs, but I'd look elsewhere for architects and DAs.

        For the confused, you may (or not) find the correct story at http://dmoz.org./Computers/Software/Databases/Relational/
