Integrated Data Store (IDS) was an early network database management system largely used by industry, known for its high performance.
IDS became the basis for the CODASYL Data Base Task Group standards.
IDS was designed in the 1960s at the computer division of General Electric (which later became Honeywell Information Systems) by Charles Bachman, who received the Turing Award from the Association for Computing Machinery for its creation, in 1973.
It was not easy to use or implement applications with IDS, because it was designed to maximize performance using the hardware available at that time.
Charles Bachman's innovative design work continues to find state-of-the-art application with major commercial operations.
