The origins of scott users in Oracle

From the first commercial version of Oracle to the present, oracle's default database has all the users whose names are scott and whose passwords are tiger. What exactly does scott come from? How can we keep it rare in our oracle version.

This is about to be traced back to Oracle's entrepreneurial stage. In June 1977, Accenture, Bob Miner, and Ed Oates jointly established a computer company named Software Development Lab (SDL) in Silicon Valley, the three-person Company was the predecessor of ORACLE, which later became the dominant database provider. At that time, herison was 32 years old. He was just as old as me. Because of his contract relationship, he was not able to come out in his original company. He was just a programmer. He can't survive. He always needs someone who writes code. The first programmer in the company appeared. His name is scott, and his cat name is trigger, it may be for the sake of the first programmer, so we have the user scott and have never forgotten it.

In March 1983, RSI released the third edition of ORACLE. Miner and Scott used the C language to develop the third edition under the high pressure of herison, using it to write ORACLE software is also risky, but there is no other way. It soon proved how correct it was: C compiler is cheap and effective, and has good portability.

However, this third edition is not over yet. Scott left Oracle, and perhaps the endless changes in c development and initial stages left scott unable to bear. The Bull chose to leave the company and sell his 4% million shares, but after scott leaves Oracle, he is still confused in the database development market. He founded PointBase, which is a good embedded database, but it seems to be written in java, I have also used development projects. The Daniel did not think that Oracle, which was written by him in the future, is the database giant in the future, and the 4% is equivalent to several hundred million US dollars.

The times create heroes. The great products of each age are followed by stories of ordinary people with different hero figures. However, they are just so common, but they do not ordinary things.
