This Web site and Rel are maintained by Dave Voorhis.
After graduating in 1986 with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Brandon University, Dave Voorhis became a founding partner in a small Canadian software development firm, where he developed specialised database engines in C and C++ to support bespoke business application development.
From 2003 to 2019, he was a senior lecturer in Computing and programme leader for BSc. (Hons) Computer Science at the University of Derby.
In November 2019, Dave moved from academia back into industry. He is now a full time software engineer with BJSS Inc. In his spare time, he continues to develop Rel and related data management and data processing tools.
Dave has continuously developed and refined Rel since its first release in 2004. Dave is also an avid motorcyclist, amateur photographer and musician, and collector of vintage Tektronix oscilloscopes.
Rel would not have been possible without the valuable contributions of various others, including:
Hugh Darwen and Chris Date for The Third Manifesto and Tutorial D. Special thanks to Hugh Darwen for extensive reviews of Rel and helpful comments and encouragement.
