	System R was a seminal project: it was the first implementation of Structured Query Language (SQL), which has since become the standard relational data query language.
	It was also the first system to demonstrate that a relational database management system could provide good transaction processing performance.
	Design decisions in System R, as well as some fundamental algorithm choices (such as the dynamic programming algorithm used in query optimization), influenced many later relational systems.
