  • Abstract
    E.F. Codd developed his relational database concept within a community that was attempting to create a general-purpose machine for retrieving and reasoning with data. Rather than just making progress toward that goal, this article argues that Codd´s accomplishment marked the end of that effort and traces the heritage of the relational database system as it relates to the concept of an information system.
