'''Integrated Data Store''' ('''IDS''') was an early [[network model | network]] [[database|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.<ref>{{Cite web |title= Charles W.

The software was released in 1964 for the [[GE-200 series|GE 235]] computer.
By 1965, a network version for the customer  [[Weyerhaeuser|Weyerhaeuser Lumber]] was in operation.<ref name="oral">{{Cite web |title= Oral-History:Charles Bachman |work= IEEE Oral History Network |date= April 9, 2011 |author= Andrew L.

IDS/II, introduced in 1975, was a {{clarify|text=chargeable [[Software as a Product|program product]]|date=April 2015}}.<ref>{{cite news|title=Features of IDS/II Include a Price Tag|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=f2XZVvbi_TAC&dq=IDS-II&pg=PA15|accessdate=Sep 4, 2014|work=Computerworld|date=Dec 3, 1975}}</ref>  At this time the original version was labeled IDS/I.

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. However, that weakness was equally its strength because skilful implementations of IDS-type databases, such as British Telecom's huge CSS project (an [[IDMS]] database servicing more than 10 billion transactions per year), show levels of performance on terabyte-sized databases that are unmatchable by all relational database implementations. Charles Bachman's innovative design work continues to find state-of-the-art application with major commercial operations.<ref>[http://home.bt-webworld.com/ukiua/Articles/BTbyBobRatcliffe.htm BT by Bob Ratcliff] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041221043403/http://home.bt-webworld.com/ukiua/Articles/BTbyBobRatcliffe.htm |date=2004-12-21 }}</ref>

Later, [[Goodrich Corporation|BF Goodrich Chemical Co.]], rewrote the entire system to make it more usable, calling the result [[IDMS|integrated data management system]] (IDMS).<ref>{{cite news |last1=Hayes |first1=Frank |title=The Story So Far |url=https://www.computerworld.com/article/2588199/the-story-so-far.html |access-date=Jan 8, 2022 |agency=Computerworld |date=Apr 15, 2002}}</ref>
