Abstract
The database and database management systems have become an integral part of every kind of work, whether in managing business-related data or managing our household accounts. The purpose of this paper is to take a look back in time and track the origin of the database, its development over the years, and to take a look forward at what the future may hold for databases.
Annotation
Although starting with a brief section on "Ancient to Modern" databases, the focus is databases from the 1960s to the 21st century.
