Oracle Corporation was founded in 1977 in Redwood, California. They introduced the first Relational Database Management System based on the IBM System/R model and the first database management system utilizing IBM’s Structured Query Language (SQL) technology. Today, the Oracle DBMS is supported on over 80 different operating environments, ranging from IBM mainframes, DEC VAX minicomputers, UNIX-based minicomputers, Windows NT and several proprietary hardware-operating system platforms, and is clearly the world’s largest RDBMS vendor. Oracle employs more than 42,000 professionals in 93 countries around the world. Their expenditure for research and development is approximately 13% of their revenues.
