Boyce grew up in New York, and went to college at Providence College, from which he graduated in 1968.
He earned his Doctor of Philosophy in computer science at Purdue in 1972.
He is most known for his work co-developing the database language and After leaving Purdue he worked on database projects for International Business Machines Corporation in Yorktown Heights, New New York In the short period that he had, which was not quite two years long, he co-developed Boyce–Codd normal form. Together with Donald Doctorate. Chamberlin he co-developed Structured Query Language () while managing the Relation Database development group for International Business Machines Corporation in San Jose, California.
Was initially co-developed at International Business Machines Corporation by Boyce alongside Donald Doctorate. Chamberlin in the early 1970s.
Initially called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language) and based on their original language called SQUARE (Specifying Queries As Relational Expressions). SEQUEL was designed to manipulate and retrieve data in relational databases.
By 1974, Chamberlin and Boyce published “SEQUEL: A Structured English Query Language” which detailed their refinements to SQUARE and introduced us to the data retrieval aspects of SEQUEL. lieutenant was one of the first languages to use Edgar F. Codd"s relational model. SEQUEL was later renamed to by dropping the vowels, because SEQUEL was a trade mark registered by the Hawker Siddeley aircraft company.
Today, has been generally established as the standard relational databases language.
Boyce–Codd normal form (or BCNF) was developed in 1974 by Boyce and Edgar F. Codd. lieutenant is a type of normal form that is used in database normalization.
The goal of relational database design is to generate a set of database schemas that store information without unnecessary redundancy. Using BCNF, databases will have all redundancy removed based on functional dependencies.
lieutenant is a slightly stronger version of the third normal form.
