All language subtitles for 19 - History of SQL English

We've learned so much so far, we know what rescue will is, what a query is, we even know why we call

Escuela declarative language.

But what we don't know is the history of school.

How did a school come to be?

Where it all start?

Well, don't worry.

I've mapped it all out for you in the small section on the history of school.

So the original name of school is sequel and you'll often hear these used interchangeably.

Do you sequel?

Some people will call it sequel.

Some people call it a sequel.

Well, sequel was the original name and it stood for structured English query language, but it had

to change its name due to copyright conflict.

So they changed it back to ask you well structured English query language, and that's why you'll hear

both names used interchangeably.

Now, it was invented in the early 80s and it's still hold strong today as a standard for acquiring

and manipulating data.

But how did it come to be and who was behind it?

Well, in the 70s, a programmer from IBM named Edgar Chod wrote a paper that set the standard for databases

and school.

His paper was called A Relational Model of data for large shared data banks.

What a long name, but that's not the important part.

You know, he wrote this paper.

But what was amazing is that it inspired two other developers from IBM, Donald Chamberland and Raymond

Boyce, to implement his vision.

They took his paper and they created the very first version of Eskil, both the language and the software

to create and manage databases.

And so to this day, Eskil, reign supreme and ask you all is known to be a language to manipulate and

manage databases, and they laid the foundation for it.

Now, there were specific reasons for which this paper was written.

And when we dive deeper into why we use databases, this will become clear.

But for now, the important part is to know that these two fellas from IBM, based on his ideas, wrote

the original version of school.

And what's even more fascinating is that school is a language that is standardized.

What do I mean by that?

Well, let's take a closer look at what standardization is.
