CODASYL, the Conference/Committee on Data Systems Languages, was a consortium formed in 1959 to guide the development of a standard programming language that could be used on many computers. This effort led to the development of the programming language COBOL, the CODASYL Data Model, and other technical standards.

The CODASYL data model (CODASYL stands for Conference on Data Systems Languages) is a hierarchical Database Model that allows data to be organized into tree-like structures. Each node in the tree can have multiple child nodes, but only one parent node.

May 29, 2018 · CODASYL An organization dedicated mainly to the development of the data processing language Cobol and associated software. It originated at a meeting, the Conference on Data Systems Languages, called in the Pentagon by the US Department of Defense in 1959 to consider both the desirability and feasibility of establishing a common language for ...

3 days ago · The data model proposed by the CODASYL DBTG (see CODASYL) in which data is organized into records of different types and records are organized into sets of different types, both record and set types being named.

CODASYL was widely known for its definition of COBOL, but it was also involved with the network database model and the data description language (DDL) for defining database schemas.

Codasyl issues Horrible complexity. No physical data independence – change most anything recode No logical data independence – change most anything -> recode If you screw up the data structure inadvertently, then must reload everything. (No isolation) Initial load must be done all at once. – many hours. Codd: relations

(CODASYL) A consortium that developed database models and standard database extensions for COBOL. CODASYL was formed in 1959 to guide the development of a standard programming language that could be used on many computers. Members came from industry and government data processing departments.

CODASYL was a volunteer organization consisting of individuals from industry and government involved in data-processing activity. The organization was formed in 1959 to guide the development of a standard programming language, which led to the development of COBOL.

CODASYL (COnference on DAta SYstems Languages) An organization founded in 1959 by the U.S. Department of Defense. CODASYL evolved into a variety of volunteer committees and ultimately disbanded by the mid-1990s.

CODASYL (often spelled Codasyl ) is an acronym for "Conference on Data Systems Languages". This was a consortium formed in 1959 to guide the development of a standard programming language that could be used on many computers.
