Another great SQL history video: I have a 35 year career in SQL, and again, I was unaware of much of this history detail. And you managed to discuss Codd without going into his Rules, for which you are to be congratulated! I worked briefly at the Microsoft campus shortly after SQL Server 2000 was released, as as a customer, we were struggling to get an enterprise system ported from the earlier Sybase-based database engine code that still resided in SQL Server 6.5 into 2000, and performance was proving a big problem: the optimiser had been significantly re-written since Microsoft had forked the database engine following their split from Sybase. While I was there, I was told a story of what happened when Microsoft and Sybase parted ways. There was an agreement that upon termination of their cooperation agreement, all source code would be shared between them at that point. As you can imagine, Microsoft had done a lot of development separately. So when Microsoft sent Sybase all their final source code,, they stripped out all of the white space and mangled all the identifier names. I've never looked upon Microsoft in the same way since.
I remember an interview with Ted Codd in an 80's computer magazine where he made the interviewer sign an agreement that included the stipulation to refrain from calling him a "guru". Now I can't think of Codd or even SQL without that word "guru" popping into my head. Streisand effect.
The last 25 years of my work life before retirement were spent in SQL. Really liked working with it, especially the ability for ad hoc queries when unexpected information is needed. Periodically management would need some very specific information, and SQL was a great tool for that task.
we could have so much more great software if only we had those rabbits. makes you wonder whether sticking a CS-degree on everyone with a pulse was such great idea.
I have to say the amount of effort you put into the script and production is excellent. Having worked at Logica and used databases i really enjoyed this. These subjects are fascinating because although they are considered obscure they are literally world changing. Thank you.

16:00 Date's book is what my university used for the undergrad database class in the late 80's early 90's. I still have my copy. We used DB/2 on DOS-based PCs, and Date's book. This combination started to show the idiosyncratic differences between the different SQL dialects. Over her career, my wife has used Sybase, Ingress, SQL Server, Oracle, Informix, and DB/2.
Seventh edition dedicated to the 25-th anniversary of the first edition is right on my table now :) That's why I've moved to DBA after 20 years in IT - it is a most stable and conservative branch of the CS.
Sybase used be in Emeryville before they moved to Dublin. I used to work at Oracle & Ed Oates office above my office & unfortunately I get his mail & he will get mine so I knew pretty well. He really didn’t need to work but wanted to do something.
Takes me back to my old days in Austin, Tx working at a software development company. At that time the company had made some pretty neat, small and fast software/browser-based emulators for the VAX, SYS 360, Unix/Linux and IBM 5250 Mini - all of them really including Amdahl and others from Europe. That was a lot of fun and I got to play with some of those mainframes and mini databases. They were remarkably fast and stable. It is amazing to me that SQL is still used to this day. A testament to its well thought out design. Who knows what the next innovation generation will bring? Perhaps something akin to using Quantum or other alternative systems with the only way I can put it, already connected so in a weird way "instant global connectivity and access to the data." Always enjoy your nostalgic content!

It would have been worth going into much closer detail about Oracle's early days. Just like IBM, the VC community believed software existed as a give-away used to sell hardware, and nearly everyone turned Ellision down when he tried to raise VC funding. When he finally succeeded, he got the brainless oaf Don Valentine on his Board, and Valentine was famously addicted to his notion "you can never fire a startup CEO too fast" - which led Sequoia to destroy dozens of potentially world-beating companies early in their lifecycle. Somehow Ellison managed to avoid Valentine's destructive impulses long enough to reach the IPO. Then, at the $1 billion revenue mark, Oracle nearly detonated because of Ellision's very poor financial management. Plus, Ellision played some very dubious games with the stock, resulting in his co-founders becoming nowhere near as incredibly rich as he himself did. It's an interesting tale and shows that there's a lot more to success than technology and timing.
I have used every kind of databases in my career of computing. Every. The relational DB is by far the easiest to write software for, but also slowest of them all. Back in the day when the computers and their drives were veeeery slow, other types of databases were necessary. Today we can work with relational databases.
I never used SQL because the "relational" databases I was using was keyed with the realtime stamps and those were (practically) never in sync. Timestamps as double-precision real numbers, you have to interpolate something to match them, usually I interpolated the vessel position as we knew it travelled more or less in a straight line.
With the right hardware, RDBMSs out pace other systems in high concurrency ACID compliant transaction processing, such as core banking, share trading, gaming (horses), lotteries etc... They are also great for CRMs.
