 codd.htm
Edgar Codd first wrote about the concept of relational databases in his paper "A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks" in 1970.
Codd went on to define relational databases more completely where he laid out twelve principles of relational databases in 1974.
Codd completed his PhD at the University of Michigan in 1963, and presented a thesis on the topic of a self-reproducing computer consisting of a large number of simple identical cells, each of which interacts in a uniform manner with its four immediate neighbors.

 Edgar Codd, database theorist, dies at 79 CNET News.com
Edgar F. Codd, a mathematician and computer scientist who laid the theoretical foundation for relational databases--the standard method by which information is organized in and retrieved from computers--died on Friday at his home in Williams Island, Fla. He was 79.
Codd is survived by his wife of Williams Island; a daughter, Katherine Codd Clark of Palo Alto, Calif.; three sons, Ronald of Alamo, Calif., Frank of Castro Valley, Calif., and David of Boca Raton, Fla.; and six grandchildren.
Codd's idea, based on mathematical set theory, was to store data in cross-referenced tables, allowing the information to be presented in multiple permutations.

 E. F. Codd - a Whatis.com definition
E. Codd (Edgar F. "Ted" Codd) formed the concepts for organizing and accessing data that are embodied in the relational database, the predominant approach to data organization in today's business world.
Codd also believed that a database management system should provide a standard access approach so that an application program did not have to be aware of how the data was organized.
One of Codd's key ideas was the process for organizing data into the appropriate number of tables, a process known as normalization.

Codd described it and explored its implications in a series of research papers — staggering in their originality--which he published throughout the period 1969-1979.
He is survived by his wife Sharon and her parents, Sol and Nora Boroff, of Williams Island, Florida; a brother David Codd and his wife, Barbara and a sister, Katherine Codd, all of England; and a second sister, Lucy Pickard, of Hamilton, Ontario.
In fact, not only did Codd's relational model set the entire discipline of database management on a solid scientific footing, it also formed the basis for a technology that has had, and continues to have, a major impact on the very fabric of our society.

The great contribution of master Codd besides the assertion that "the entire information content of a relational database is represented in one and only one way: namely, as attribute values within tuples within relations" is his activism in promoting one theory of "relational completeness of data base sublanguage".
He explained that when presented with existeing data management systems he felt rather disguted by the lack of serious work and theory to have it work properly.

 From the Editor: Edgar (Ted) Codd, 1923-2003
By all accounts, Edgar F. Codd, known as Ted, was a brilliant man. Among his accomplishments was the development in the early 1970s of a relational model for data management—a sophisticated and complete theory for storing and manipulating large amounts of business data.
The crux of Codd's solution was that data, rather than being stored in a hierarchical structure, be stored in simple tables composed of rows and columns in which columns of like data would relate tables to one another.
Although Codd remained affiliated with IBM through the early 1980s, he also started a consulting company with longtime collaborator Chris Date, and continued to research and publish papers on topics such as data normalization, analytics, and data modeling until his death earlier this year.
