Interesting facts
First RDBMS version released in 1979 was called Oracle V2. Why not V1? There were two reasons for that: a concern that a version 1 would not awake potential customers’ interest and to show a pseudo- leadership compared to the competitors.
Oracle is a database technology leader. Many of the new RDBMS things come from Oracle first.
