  Business System 12
Business System 12, or simply BS12, was one of was the first fully relational database management systems, designed and implemented by IBM's UK Bureau Service subsidiary.
Details of the engine were picked up from the famous System R[?] underway in the US at the same time, but they decided to dispose with SQL and modify ISBL instead.
BS12 included a number of interesting features that still have yet to appear on SQL-based systems, some a side effect of using ISBL, others due to deliberate design.

 php-deluxe.net - description SQL
Oracle is often incorrectly cited as beating IBM to market by two years, but in a great public relations coup, beat IBM s release of the System/38 by only a few weeks.
It is often suggested that IBM was slow to develop SQL and relational products, possibly because it wasn t available initially on the mainframe and Unix environments, and that they were afraid it would cut into lucrative sales of their IMS database product, which used navigational database models instead of relational.
But at the same time as Oracle was being developed, IBM was developing the System/38, which was intended to be the first relational database system, and was thought by some at the time, because of its advanced design and capabilities, that it might have become a possible replacement for the mainframe and Unix systems.

After IBM management had decided in the late 1980-ies no longer to support the system, it remained in use on behalf of a major application until 1996.
The present report is a facsimile version of an unpublished internal memorandum at IBM Uithoorn; it describes the functionality of the system in the style as advocated in the book by Schmidt and Brody, {\em Relational Database Systems, Analysis and Comparison\/}, published in 1983.
BS12 has a number of features which are rather unique for the Relational Database Systems, at least for those available in the 1980-ies.

In 2002, IBM announced the beginning of a $10 billion program to research and implement the infrastructure technology necessary to be able to provide supercomputer-level resources "on demand" to all businesses as a metered utility.
IBM was the largest of the eight major computer companies (with UNIVAC, Burroughs, Scientific Data Systems, Control Data Corporation, General Electric, RCA and Honeywell) through most of the 1960s.
IBM's success in the mid-1960s led to inquiries as to IBM antitrust violations by the U.S. Department of Justice, which filed a complaint for the case U.S. v.

 SQL - meaning of word
During the 1970s, a group at IBM San Jose research center developed a database system "System R" based upon Codd's model.
As a result, IBM began to develop commercial products that implemented SQL based on their System R prototype, including SQL/DS (introduced in 1981), and DB2 (in 1983).
In 1979, Relational Software, Inc. (now Oracle Corporation) introduced the first commercially available implementation of SQL (Oracle actually beat IBM to market by two years by releasing their first commercial RDBMS) and soon, many other vendors developed dialects of it.

 Business System 12 (BS12)
The planning of BS12 started in 1978, with a decision that the new state-of-the-art DBMS for IBM's Bureau Service would be a relational one, but the design and implementation took another four years.
We did nearly fall into the "nulls" trap, but thankfully veered away from it at the last minute, under advice from Chris Date, Stephen Todd (of the ISBL team) and, wait for it...

 SQL - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An influential paper, "A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks", by Dr. Edgar F. Codd, was published in June, 1970 in the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) journal, Communications of the ACM, although drafts of it were circulated internally within IBM in 1969.
Although SQL was influenced by Codd's work, Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce at IBM were the authors of the SEQUEL language design.
At the same time Relational Software, Inc. (now Oracle Corporation) saw the potential of the concepts described by Chamberlin and Boyce and developed their own version of a RDBMS for the Navy, CIA and others.

IBM RS6000 Workstations -------------------------- With the release of version 9 firmware for the HP35470/80A and the release of Version 3.2 or later of IBM's AIX operating system, the HP DDS drive now plug and play on the RS6000 without special firmware.
In order to make the HP35470/80A DDS tape dives operate with the IBM RS6000 family of workstations running old 3.1.X versions of the AIX operating system, HP provides 'special' firmware that emulated IBM's QIC drives.
Note that the position of switches 1 and 2 are only valid for the HP35480A, control the compression capabilities of the drive only, and do not affect the configuration of the drive with respect to the IBM or any other workstations.

The machines used for the development and implementation of this interface were IBM RS/6000s, one 520 and one 320H.
I am running PVM on clusters of IBM RS/6000 (between 3 and 6 machines) and I have one application running on a cluster of 5 IBM RS/6000 and one Silicon Graphics workstation.
While these are relatively easy to contruct from the communications primitives given, I would expect that with a more in depth understanding of PVM than I have it would be possible to write far more optimized versions of these routines.

 Chris Date and Hugh Darwen Reply
We didn't think of publishing our work on the BS12 architecture because we didn't think it was particularly novel.
In any case, one of its most important features was the use of dynamic extendible hashing, which we discovered in a timely paper by Ron Fagin, then and now of IBM's Almaden Research Center.
One of the first people to recognize and support Codd's pioneering work on the relational model, he was involved in technical planning for the IBM products SQL/DS and DB2.

 SQL Summary
SQL (commonly expanded to Structured Query Language — see History for the term's derivation) is the most popular computer language used to create, modify, retrieve and manipulate data from relational database management systems.
Concerning the names of major database products (or projects) containing the letters SQL, each has its own convention: MySQL is commonly pronounced my ess-cue-el; PostgreSQL is expediently pronounced postgres; and Microsoft SQL Server is commonly spoken as Microsoft-sequel-server.
Many of these extensions are of a proprietary nature, such as Oracle Corporation's PL/SQL or Sybase, IBM's SQL PL (SQL Procedural Language) and Microsoft's Transact-SQL.
