Two computer scientists -- Donald D. Chamberlain and Raymond F. Boyce -- developed SQL in 1974 for manipulating and retrieving data from IBM’s System R database platform. Back then, the language was called
SEQUEL, which stood for

SQL, or
Structured Query Language, because Hawker Siddley, an aircraft company based in the U.K., had already trademarked 'SEQUEL.' In 1979, Oracle Corp. became the first company to base its relational database software on SQL.
