The '''MICRO Relational Database Management System''' was the first large-scale [[set-theoretic]] [[database management system]] to be used in production.[https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4t_NX-QeWDYNmVhYjAwMWMtYzc3ZS00YjI0LWJhMjgtZTYyODZmNmFkNThh "A set theoretic data structure and retrieval language" (PDF)], William R.
