(Invented Relational Model For Database Management)


The relational model for database administration was created by English computer scientist Edgar frank "ted" codd (19 August 1923 – 18 April 2003), who was employed by IBM. This model serves as the theoretical foundation for relational databases and relational database management systems. Although he made other significant contributions to the field of computer science, the relational model, a fundamental general theory of data management, has received the most attention, scrutiny, and praise.

Edgar Frank Codd was born in Fortunes well, Dorset, England, on the Isle of Portland. After graduating from Poole Grammar School, he went on to Exeter College in Oxford to study mathematics and chemistry before flying Sunderlands as a pilot in the RAF's coastal command during World War II. He relocated to New York in 1984 to work as a mathematical programmer for IBM. He moved back to the US in 1953 and started working for IBM while studying computer science at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor from 1961 to 1965. He relocated to San Jose, California, two years later to work at IBM's San Jose Research laboratory, where he remained employed until the 1980s. In 1976, he was named an IBM fellow. His health declined in the 1990s, and he stopped working.
