History Of Oracle Database The following are the important events and years in which these events took

place. Network and Hierarchical Models Charles Bachman of General Electric proposed a network model with data records linked together, forming intersecting sets of data in 1964. The North American Aviation's pace !ivision and "B# developed a second approach $ased on a hierarchical model in 1965. "n this model, data is represented as tree str%ct%res in a hierarchy of records. "B#'s prod%ct $ased on this model was $ro%ght to market in 1969 as the "nformation #anagement ystem &"# '. Birth Of Relational Model - early 19 ! The concept of the relational data$ase was first descri$ed aro%nd 19 ! $y !r. Edgar (. Codd in an "B# research p%$lication entitled ) ystem *+ *elational.) *elational oftware, "ncorporated &* "' was fo%nded in 19 9 and released ,racle -.. as the world's first relational data$ase. By 19"5, ,racle co%ld claim more than /,000 relational data$ase c%stomer sites. "B# itself wo%ld not em$race relational technology in a commercial prod%ct %ntil the 1%ery #anagement (acility in 19"#. Birth of Oracle $or%oration - 19"# * " &*elational oftware, "ncorporation' was renamed to ,racle Corporation. Be&innin& of 'ortability ,racle Corporation created a porta$le version of ,racle &-ersion 2' that ran not only on !igital -A34-# systems, $%t also on 5ni6 and other platforms. By 19"5 , ,racle claimed the a$ility to r%n on more than 20 platforms. $lient()er*er database - 19"6 ince networks $ecame availa$le in mid 70s, ,racle started s%pporting Client4 erver model. Oracle +inancials - 19"" ,racle entered into prod%cts market and developed its E8* prod%ct9 ,racle (inancials $ased on ,racle *elational !ata$ase. Oracle6 - 19"9 ,racle version :.0 was released in /;7;. (irst time 8<4 1< entered into scene. "ntegrity constraints are only declared $%t not defined. Oracle - 199# ,racle release version =.0 in /;;2. "t provided complete s%pport for "ntegrity constraints. Oracle" - 199 ,racle for the first started s%pporting o$>ects in !ata$ase. As ,racle started s%pporting o$>ect, it is also called as ,*B!# & ,$>ect *elational !ata$ase #anagement ystem' from ,racle7 onwards. Also introd%ced feat%res related to -<!B&-ery <arge !ata$ase' feat%res s%ch as partitioning ta$les.

Oracle"i - 1999 ,racle corporation started saying moving towards "nternet model, where everything is stored in "nternet. ,ne of the $iggest new feat%res is s%pport for ?ava in ,racle data$ase. @o% can %se either 8<4 1< or ?ava. ,racle data$ase contains ?ava -irt%al #achine. To read more a$o%t what is new in ,racle7i, read Ahat's new in ,racle7i article. Oracle9i,) - -!!! ,racle corporation is no longer a company providing only data$ase management system and instead started providing all that it takes to develop and deploy a complete application. A &Application erver' r%ns on middle tier in 29tier Client4 erver architect%re $oosting the performance. Oracle9iDB - -!!1 ,racle;i !ata$ase was released. "t is said that it has +00 new feat%res all together. @o% can get information a$o%t new feat%res that were introd%ced in ,racle;i!B thro%gh New feat%res of ,racle;i !ata$ase Now, ,racle Corporation is second largest software first only ne6t to #icrosoft. "t's head <arry Ellison $elieves that application are to $e r%n on "nternet and not on Client4 erver. Be says this is "nformation Age. Be also says the order of the day is %ite & a collection of prod%cts that are designed to $e %sed together'. That is the reason ,racle;i comes with three mod%les 9 !ata$ase, !eveloper %ite and Application erver, which are %sed together to developer an "nternet application.
