something similar for the original SQL/relational implementation,
System/R; past posts
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/submain.html#systemr

official next generation DBMS was "EAGLE" ... and while company was
preoccupied with "EAGLE" ... managed to do technology transfer "under
the radar" to Endicott for SQL/DS. Later when "EAGLE" imploded, there
was request about how fast could System/R be ported to MVS (eventually
released as DB2, originally for business analytics only)
