    Phase 2 Db

It was later discovered the original name had been taken by another company for their programming project which resulted in Oak being renamed to Java. The Java group developed a language that would share similar characteristics with C languages but fewer bugs, more versatility, hardware independence, and reduced development times.…

    Upon returning to Bell Labs, Ritchie and Thompson began developing a game called Space Travel using the Multics language and a retired DEC PDP-7 minicomputer. Space Travel led to the development of a file system structure, paging, a command-line shell, and processes. In 1971, UNIX was chosen as the operating system name, a play on the name Multics. Ritchie wrote the C Language (1971–1973) to provide a more flexible programming environment for UNIX; earlier versions were written in the assembler and B languages, which had been written by Thompson.…

    Is Oracle Dying?

    Oracle Corporation was founded in Jun 1977 by Larry Ellison, Bob Miner, Ed Oates. Over the years, it has risen to become almost indisputable leader of the Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) market with 44% (Source: IDC 2009) – at least, for now, though, no one is sure how long that numero uno position will last. There were heady days of 1996-2008 or so when Oracle ruled the world of RDBMS. It was unchallenged crown king that could do no wrong. Hundreds of thousands of Database engineers, architects, administrators spoke of Oracle as if it was actually the famed “Oracle of Delphi”. Conference passes to Oracle Open World were so coveted that it was distributed to star employees in any company using Oracle Products.…

These initial efforts are marked by a craftsman-like approach based on what intuitively felt right. Unfortunately, too many programmers had poor intuition.…

    Language and It's Origin

    How did language begin? Words don’t leave artifacts behind—writing began long after language did—so theories of language origins have generally been based on hunches. For centuries there had been so much fruitless speculation over the question of how language began that when the Paris Linguistic Society was founded in 1866, its bylaws included a ban on any discussions of it. The early theories are now referred to by the nicknames given to them by language scholars fed up with unsupportable just-so stories.…
