The history of DBMS (database management system) dates back to the 1960s, when the first systems were developed to manage large amounts of data. DBMS systems were originally designed to help businesses and organizations manage their data more efficiently.
The first DBMS, called the Integrated Data Store (IDS), was developed by IBM in the 1960s. The system was designed for use by government agencies and large corporations. to manage their data. IDS was followed by other early DBMS systems such as Integrated Data Warehouse (IDS) and R Systems, developed by IBM in the 1970s.
In the 1970s, the relational model for databases was introduced by E.F. Codd from IBM, this model has become the basis for most modern database management systems. The relational model represents data as a set of tables, where each table represents a specific type of data and each row in the table represents a specific instance of that data.
In the 1980s, the first commercial relational DBMS systems were introduced by companies such as Oracle and IBM. These systems are designed for use by businesses and organizations of all sizes and are rapidly gaining popularity for their ability to handle large amounts of data and ease of use.
During the 1990s, the growth of the Internet and the need for more flexible and accessible databases led to the development of new DBMS systems, such as MySQL and PostgreSQL, designed to to be open source and free to use. The evolution of SQL, a standard query language for DBMS, has made creating and managing databases easier.
Today, DBMSs are used in many industries and applications, from online shopping and social media to healthcare and finance. With the growth of big data and the Internet of Things, the demand for DBMS continues to increase and new technologies such as NoSQL databases.
