Dawn,
Nice to see you're back we haven't heard from you for awhile.
Another interesting thing that Don Nelson had in his paper you mention below
is, "... this specification is designed for a communication network of many
remote stations and a single computer." What does that sound like to you?
1965?

Cache' is the evolution of MUMPS and now also some of the evolution of
Pick. For timing, Don Nelson designed the query language in the early
to mid 60's where the MUMPS designer worked in the mid to late 60's,
so MUMPS lags slightly behind, but both were there before Codd's paper
on relations.
By the way, if you look at the first of Don Nelson's papers that you
can get to from
http://www.tincat-group.com/mewsings/2006/02/list-of-girls.html you
will see that he uses the term relation in a 1965 paper. I thought
that was very interesting. --dawn

I thought Cache was the descendant of MUMPS. If so, it is at least as
old as Pick.
