== History ==
 
[[Larry Ellison]] and his two friends and former co-workers, [[Bob Miner]] and [[Ed Oates]], started a consultancy called Software Development Laboratories (SDL) in 1977. SDL developed the original version of the Oracle software. The name ''Oracle'' comes from the code-name of a [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]-funded project Ellison had worked on while formerly employed by [[Ampex]].;<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/g2/story/0,3604,215072,00.html|title=Welcome to Larryland|work=The Guardian|access-date=2009-12-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160825232818/https://www.theguardian.com/g2/story/0,3604,215072,00.html|archive-date=25 August 2016|url-status=live}}</ref> CIA was Oracle's first customer.{{r|rdbmsearlyyearsoh20070612}}
