Data is a collection of facts and figures. Data collection was increasing day by day and it was necessary to store it in a more secure device or program.
Charles Buckman was the first person to develop an Integrated Data Store (IDS) that was based on a network data model for which it was opened with the Turing Prize (the most famous award equivalent to the Nobel Prize in Computer Science). . It was developed in the early 1960s.
In the late 1960s, IBM (International Business Machines Corporation) developed Integrated Management Systems and is the standard database system used until now in many places. It was developed on the basis of the hierarchical database model. During the 1970's the relational database model was developed by Edgar Codd. Many of the database models we use today are relational. It has been considered the standard database model since then.
The relational model was still in use by many people in the market, and later during the same decade (1980), IBM developed Structured Query Language (SQL) as part of Project R. It was declared a standard language for queries by ISO and ANSI. James Gray also developed Transaction Management Systems for Transaction Processing, for which he was awarded a Turing Award.
Moreover, there were many other forms with rich features such as complex queries, data types for inserting images, and many more. The Internet age may have affected data models much more than that. Data models were developed using object-oriented programming features, and embedding with scripting languages such as Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) for queries. With the availability of big data over the internet, DBMS is gaining more importance day in and day out.
