Virtually all commercial applications in the 1960’s were based on files of fixed-length records of multiple fields, which were selected and merged. Codd’s relational theory dressed up these concepts with the trappings of mathematics (wow, we lowly Cobol programmers are now mathematicians!) by calling files relations, records rows, fields domains, and merges joins. To a close approximation, established data processing practise became database theory by simply renaming all of the concepts.
