:RDBMS is a loosely coined term according to [[Relational database management system]] and there is no database that fully follows the rules of the [[relational model]]. Hence we can remove the "Oracle is the world's first RDBMS" statement from the page or make a modification to make it NPOV. [[User:Jay|Jay]] 16:42, 2 Jan 2004 (UTC)

If you take the strict definition, then there are no RDBMSs, so Oracle wasn't the first. If you take a less strict view and ask what was the first near-RDBMS, that wasn't Oracle either, but we're not sure what was. So, in the statement "and introduced their product Oracle V2 as the first commercial relational database system" I propose to change "the first" to "an early" to make this NPOV. In the bulleted list of firsts towards the end I propose to remove the first RDBMS claim completely. [[User:Geoff97|Geoff97]] 17:49, 2 Jan 2004 (UTC)
