随着Oracle甲骨文CEO 70岁的Larry Ellison辞去CEO职位，甲骨文的未来将充满未知和新局面。 来回顾一下这家公司的过往，最初的创始人。
这张拍摄于1978年的照片，对于大众而言是少数能帮助我们了解甲骨文公司在起步阶段情况的历史资料。
拍摄这张照片的时候，公司甚至还不叫甲骨文Oracle。

拉里·埃里森从?Ed Oates(甲骨文的另一个联合创始人)那里获得了一份IBM的研究杂志，这份杂志上介绍的SYSTEM R系统引起了拉里的兴趣。一开始拉里希望让Oracle的产品能与SYSTEM R相兼容，但IBM封闭守旧的做法让这种想法泡汤了。

到了70年代末的1977年，拉里和Bob Miner 以及Ed Oates创立了软件开发实验室(Software Development Laboratories (SDL))， 1979年更名为?Relational Software, Inc. (RSI)， 到1982年更名为Oracle Systems Corporation沿用至今，1986年Oracle上市时年收入暴增到5500万美元，甲骨文传奇从此为世人熟识。(http://www.askmaclean.com/archives/maclean-write-oracle-basic.html) ?
这四位创始人当初也难以料到Oracle公司竟会发展为市值数百亿美元的软件帝国，世界上最大的数据库软件供应商。 askmaclean.com
1996年ED Oates从Oracle公司退休，虽然之前他表达过当公司拥有10000名员工时就会退休的意愿，但显然当时oracle的扩展速度过于迅速了，
这导致Ed退休的时候Oracle已经拥有20000明员工了。
后来他买了一家高端家庭影院专卖店，为像乔布斯和Larry Ellison这样的人提供高端音响，在1999年他出售了这家店。
在oracle的最初岁月，Ed Oates负责项目管理
Bruce scott对中国用户来说更为熟悉，显然是因为scott/tiger的组合，每一家公司都有一个叫scott的人。
虽然大多数人以为Bruce scott是甲骨文的联合创始人，但实际的情况是scott只是Oracle的第一位雇员。如果算上创始人也算employee 雇员的话，那么Scott是第四位雇员。
Scott是Oracle数据库前三个版本(2、3、4，没有Version 1)的主要设计人员之一。
Scott在1982年离开了oracle，帮助另一位Oracle前员工成立另一家公司Centura Software。之后他参与创始了另一家数据库公司?PointBase，?PointBase 被?DataMirror收购了，而DataMirror又被IBM收购。 讽刺的是在Oracle weblogic 软件中还有欧诺个到PointBase。
Bob Miner是oracle数据库的主设计师，他在公司的大部分职业生涯都花在产品设计和开发上了。
如果说Larry是甲骨文的有冲劲的大脑，那么Miner是甲骨文心脏。他是受人爱戴的高管，其到了平衡Larry对公司影响的作用。他希望员工能不因为通宵工作，而忽略了家人。
1993年他由于一种罕见的肺癌去世，享年52岁。
担当了37年的CEO后70岁的Larry在最近宣布主动卸任CEO，将在今后担任CTO的角色。其保持着担任科级公司最长时间CEO的历史记录。
他是世界上最富有的人之一，达到?$51 billion。
在过去的几年里他把注意力转到其他事情上，如购买了大量的夏威夷小岛拉奈，将该岛屿改造成生态友好的乐园和度假者的天堂。
