Abstract
Oracle, a major supplier of information management software, was started in 1977 when Larry Ellison founded Software Development Laboratories (SDL). Though the name changed in 1979 to Relational Software Inc. (RSI), the company continued to innovate database technologies at a rapid pace. That same year it created the first commercial SQL-based relational database. It wasn’t until 1983 that RSI became Oracle Corporation, and that name has stuck ever since.
