SQL is the standard database language. It has been around since the 1970s. ACID (Atomic, Consistent, Isolated, and Durable) guarantees that the database tier handles the transaction processing in a consistent and reliable manner, freeing the application from managing these tasks (and freeing you from having to code them into the application), while guaranteeing the integrity of the data in the database.
NuoDB is the world’s first and only patented, elastically-scalable, SQL database built for decentralized computing resources. It is built with a focus on the elastic scalability on the cloud with 100% ACID guarantees and SQL compliance. Another interesting point about this innovative database is that it removes administration tasks like sharding, caching, clustering and performance tuning. It has almost same syntax and interface which is familiar to any other database application.
NuoDB has recently released their a version earlier this month. The product is very robust and has many new enhencements. The recent release has over 75 bugs fixes and improved stability with Amazon S3. The best part is that this database can be installed on pretty much any platform i.e. MacOS, Windows, Amazon EC2 as well on Ubuntu. They have also recently announced availability on the Amazon AWS marketplace.

Edgar F. Codd invented the relational model (OLAP) for database management, Born on the Isle of Portland in England on Aug 23, 1923.
Edgar Frank Ted Codd is the “father” of relational model for database management, also the creator of the theoretical basis for relational databases. Also he’s the creator of expression: OLAP. He’s a computer scientist and worked on IBM.

Edgar Frank Code was a British computer scientist who, while working for IBM, invented the relational model for database management, the theoretical basis for relational databases.Dr. E. F. Codd published his
influential paper “A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks” in the Communications
of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). In his seminal paper, Dr. Codd
introduced the definitive standard for relational databases. IBM went on to create the first
relational database management system, known as System R. Codd received the Turing Award in 1981, and in 1994 he was inducted as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery
Q). Who is Edgar F. Codd?
A). Edgar F. Codd is a British computer scientist who, while working for IBM, invented the relational model for database management, the theoretical basis for relational databases. He made other valuable contributions to computer science, but the relational model, a very influential general theory of data management, remains his most mentioned achievement.

Edgar Frank Codd is a Computer Scientist and he was created the most important concept about actual scenario of databases: relational model and theoretical basis for relational databases.
Edgar F. Codd is an English computer scientist who laid the theoretical foundation for relational database. He was born in Dorset, England and worked for IBM for many years. He wrote several papers outlining his ideas on relational database, which Larry Ellison of Oracle used to build the Oracle Database.

Edgar Frank Codd was born on the Isle of Portland in England. After attending Poole Grammar School, he studied mathematics and chemistry at Exeter College, Oxford, before serving as a pilot in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. In 1948, he moved to New York to work for IBM as a mathematical programmer. In 1953, angered by Senator Joseph McCarthy, Codd moved to Ottawa, Canada. A decade later he returned to the U.S. and received his doctorate in computer science from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Two years later he moved to San Jose, California, to work at IBM’s San Jose Research Laboratory, where he continued to work until the 1980s. He was appointed IBM Fellow in 1972. During the 1990s, his health deteriorated and he ceased work.
