The History and Purpose of Oracle Frank Masciotro Bucks County Community College The Importance of Oracle Oracle’s effect on society has been most positive. They have developed numerous amounts of software and technology and have been positive for businesses. Many businesses IT’s rely on Oracle for their transaction process and applications. In this paper, we will learn about what Oracle is, who invented it, and the importance of the invention as a whole. According to Paulo Ferreira Portugal on Oracle’s site in 2015, Oracle was “Founded in August 1977 by Larry Ellison, Bob Miner, Ed Oates and Bruce Scott” (Portugal, 2015). The company that created Oracle was named SDL (System Development Labs). They changed their name in …show more content…
In 1979, the company launched Oracle version 2 which allowed RDBMS for sale. RSI changed their name to Oracle Systems Corporation in 1982 and the name was given by Larry Ellison, who worked on a CIA project code named ?Oracle?. For the next three years after that, each year came with its own Oracle release. 1983’s release was Oracle version 3 and began using programming language. It also ran minicomputers and PC’s. It was able to execute statements and transactions, which is when businesses started to give more attention to Oracle. The following year, Oracle version 4 was released due to the demand from people since version 3 was well received. Version 4 had the option to import and export items and allowed you to create reports. Oracle was aware of the rapid growth of businesses using their software, and acknowledged this in version five. The new …show more content…
The history of Ellison shows that no matter the situation it can get done. Even when his mother had died and while he never completed college, he was still able to get a good job and make billions of dollars for the project he made for the CIA. If this invention were to be taken away from society today right now, it would cause so many problems with businesses and forms of communication. People who speak different languages wouldn’t be able to communicate with others easier through the internet considering there would be no multi-language processor. Oracle will always be something that even though it’s not as talked about as other applications or computer functions such as Snapchat or microprocessors, it plays a bigger role with our modern technology than most of our society probably
Trinity installed the Oracle system (EDP) which centralized their financial data of all the BUs in one system to have reliability and accountability of their financial statements. This system combined four ledgers in one system and save Trinity $.5 million annually in SOX compliance expense. This system improved their reporting process, timely closing of books, and availability of financial information. This systems left little room for misrepresentation of their financial statements which satisfied some of the SOX requirements.
WHEN: They were founded in 1949, but the Hermens actually started the company in 1897
“With every new innovation, cultural prophets bickered over whether we were facing a technological apocalypse or a utopia” (Thompson 9). This quote states that with every significant break-through with technology, people contemplate whether it will have a positive or negative effect on mankind. Technology allows for external memory sources, connections to databases, and it allow easy communication between people. Thompson then directly counters Carr’s hypothesis and states that “[c]ertainly, if we are intellectually lazy or prone to cheating and shortcuts, or if we simply don’t pay much attention to how our tools affect the way we work, then yes - we become… over reliant” (Thompson 18). In his opinion, “[s]o yes, when we’re augmenting ourselves, we can be smarter… But our digital tools can also leave us smarter even when we’re not actively using them” (Thompson

Oracles were there simply for people in need for guidance and help. When people didn’t know what to do with their lives, they would go see oracles and ask for help. In fact, most important decisions were not confirmed or made official before someone asked an oracle what the future would bring for them.
... Oracle in The Matrix is all due to fate. In the end, fate was the overall ruler of his destiny in becoming ‘the One’ in this film.
Databases always used to fascinate me from my under graduation with great curiosity to know how large data is managed and queried. This led me to do Masters in computer science concentrating in the field of Data Management. In the course of my study, I understood the concepts of DBMS which provides a robust and efficient way of managing and mining data. Through the courses like Database Systems (ITCS 6160), Knowledge Discovery in Databases(ITCS 6162) and Knowledge Based Systems(ITCS 6155) I gained enough theoretical and practical knowledge about the importance of proper organization of data, good techniques to build an efficient database management system and how well the data can be managed.
This paper will compare and contrast five different database management systems on six criteria. The database management systems (DBMS) that will be discussed are SQL Server 2000, Access, MySQL, DB2, and Oracle. The criteria that will be compared are the systems’ functionality, the requirements that must be met to run the DBMS, the expansion capabilities – if it is able to expand to handle more data over time, the types of companies that typically use each one, the normal usage of the DBMS, and the costs associated with implementing the DBMS.
Since then, three Oracle programs have been initiated, and the application suite has been organized into five key processes, including one that assists in paint recipes and manufacturing processes spread seemlessly around the world. The Oracle applications allowed for globally centralized data that promotes efficiency and compliance, stimulates growth, and strengthens the bottom line.
This was the same year when Bill Gates and Paul Allen co-founded Microsoft. In 1981, Bill Gates’ company was hired to develop an operating system but rather than creating a new operating system they decided to buy a preexisting operation system called QDOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System) for the amount of 50,000 dollars. After modifying the operating system they bought, they renamed the operating system to MS-DOS. After MS-DOS began selling it brought in a steady income for Gates due to the fact that the PC market was growing and there weren’t many competitors in the market for them to compete with. In 1986, when Microsoft Corporation went public, it made Gates into a millionaire overnight. The following year, Microsoft released their first ever version of
The company was founded in 1975 by William Henry Gates III -- currently the chairman of Microsoft and the wealthiest man in the world -- when he called the makers of a new microcomputer, MITS, and asked to demonstrate the BASIC programming language for the system. After the demonstration, MITS agreed to distribute Altair BASIC so Bill Gates left Harvard University, moved to where MITS was located, and founded Microsoft in ...
“The idea that would spawn microsoft generated when Paul Allen showed Bill Gates the January 1,1975 issue of popular electronics that demonstrated Altair 8800.” (Nytime.com). Gates and Allen were curious and saw potential to make it better than what it already was.This soon led to make the microcomputer and he would call it the Micro Instrument and Telemetry system (MITS).
In 1985 the company produced (in China) the first computer of its own design (the "Turbo PC").
