Donald Haderle

Last updated

Donald Haderle is an American computer scientist and IBM Fellow, best known for his work on relational database management systems (RDBMS). He led the architecture and design of DB2, one of the first commercial RDBMSs, which led to his moniker "Father of DB2." [1] DB2 debuted on IBM's mainframe system MVS in 1983 and validated the applicability of relational databases for high performance transaction processing. With DB2 enterprises store, retrieve, and analyze their business transaction data. The cited reference [2] describes the early technology hurdles, the shift from a monolithic architecture to a distributed architecture portable across many operating systems (Unix, Windows, OS/2, and others) and the technology collaborations with IBM Research. DB2 is used in most enterprises around the world. [3]

Haderle was appointed IBM Fellow in 1989. He was also elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2008 for contributions to the management of high-performance relational databases and leadership in founding the relational database-management industry. Before his retirement from IBM in 2005, he was vice president and chief technology officer for information management. He is a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (2000).

On February 23, 2008, Haderle joined Boardwalktech (company) as a Technology advisor. [4]

In November 2010, Haderle joined Aerospike, a company working on a NoSQL Database called Aerospike as Technology Advisor. This relationship was formally announced in August 2012. [5]

On March 26, 2013, Haderle joined ParStream (company), a company working on a real-time SQL columnar Database for big data analytics called ParStream database as a Technology advisor. [6]

Life and career

Haderle was born on Feb. 5, 1944 and raised in San Francisco, California. He studied at Archbishop Riordan High School and received a B.A. degree in economics from the University of California Berkeley in 1967. He worked at the Port of New York Authority in New York, New York for a year and then joined IBM in San Jose, California as a computer programmer in 1968. He was appointed IBM Fellow in 1989 and Chief Technology Officer for Database Management in 1991. He retired in 2005.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Database</span> Organized collection of data in computing

In computing, a database is an organized collection of data or a type of data store based on the use of a database management system (DBMS), the software that interacts with end users, applications, and the database itself to capture and analyze the data. The DBMS additionally encompasses the core facilities provided to administer the database. The sum total of the database, the DBMS and the associated applications can be referred to as a database system. Often the term "database" is also used loosely to refer to any of the DBMS, the database system or an application associated with the database.

A relational database is a database based on the relational model of data, as proposed by E. F. Codd in 1970. A database management system used to maintain relational databases is a relational database management system (RDBMS). Many relational database systems are equipped with the option of using SQL for querying and updating the database.

Structured Query Language (SQL) is a domain-specific language used to manage data, especially in a relational database management system (RDBMS). It is particularly useful in handling structured data, i.e., data incorporating relations among entities and variables.

IBM System R is a database system built as a research project at IBM's San Jose Research Laboratory beginning in 1974. System R was a seminal project: it was the first implementation of SQL, which has since become the standard relational data query language. It was also the first system to demonstrate that a relational database management system could provide good transaction processing performance. Design decisions in System R, as well as some fundamental algorithm choices, influenced many later relational systems.
