==History==
Mimer SQL originated from a project from the ITC service center supporting [[Uppsala University]] and some other institutions to leverage the [[Relational database]] capabilities proposed by [[Edgar F. Codd|Codd]] and others. The initial release in about 1975 was designated ''RAPID'' and was written in [[Basic assembly language|IBM assembler language]]. The name was changed to ''Mimer'' in 1977 to avoid a trademark issue. Other universities were interested in the project on a number of machine architectures and Mimer was re-written in [[FORTRAN]] to achieve portability. Further models were developed for Mimer with the Mimer/QL implementing the [[QUEL query languages|QUEL query languages]].<ref name="Possible"/>
The emergence of [[SQL]] in the 1980s as the standard query language resulted in Mimers' developers choosing to adopt it with the product becoming ''Mimer SQL''.<ref name="Possible"/>
In 1984 Mimer was transferred to the newly established company ''Mimer Information Systems''.<ref name="Possible"/>
