My old boss, who was trying to build a commission tracking system in a flat-file database, couldn't understand what I was talking about when I was trying to explain relational databases. When he got it, it was like the lights were turned on.
One of the great computing innovations, indeed.

I wouldn't have a job today if it weren't for Codd.

Dr. Codd's son Dave and I both went to UC Riverside, and we were and are fraternity brothers. I was a local boy and Dave of course came down from the Bay Area, so I didn't really have much contact with his father, but I got to know Dave quite well...bright, very funny (if a lot less dry than his dad apparently was), a very good guy. I think it goes without saying that my thoughts and prayers, and I'm sure those of our Phi Kap brothers from UCR, are with Dave and his family tonight.

I actually installed the early QBE (IBM Yorktown) package at a customer location .
It could eat up a mainframe !
