图灵奖获得时间：

1981年。第十六位图灵奖(1981年)获得者。

图灵奖引用(Turing Award Citation)：

For his fundamental and continuing contributions to the theory and practice of database management systems. He originated the relational approach to database management in a series of research papers published commencing in 1970. His paper “A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks” was a seminal paper, in a continuing and carefully developed series of papers. Dr. Codd built upon this space and in doing so has provided the impetus for widespread research into numerous related areas, including database languages, query subsystems, database semantics, locking and recovery, and inferential subsystems.
