Abstract
Serving as an informal technical introduction to this Annals special issue on relational database management systems, this article gives an introductory overview of the relational model and discusses the value of Edgar F. (Ted) Codd´s model. Then, after providing an account of Chris Date´s contributions, the author assesses the relational model´s effect on the industry and how it might affect future developments.
