![Larry Ellison and his two friends and former co-workers, Bob Miner and Ed Oates, started a consultancy called Software Development Laboratories (SDL) in 1977, later Oracle Corporation. SDL developed the original version of the Oracle software. The name Oracle comes from the code-name of a Central Intelligence Agency-funded project Ellison had worked on while formerly employed by Ampex;[7] the CIA was Oracle's first customer, and allowed the company to use the code name for the new product.[8]](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/6389c989-b147-4190-9480-c1060025964d.jpeg)
