Raymond 'Ray' Boyce is a computer scientist who was known for his research in relational databases.

Boyce grew up in New York, and went to college in Providence, Rhode Island. He earned his PhD at Purdue in 1971 [http://www.cs.purdue.edu/phds/#Jun_1971] . After leaving Purdue he worked on database projects for IBM in Yorktown Heights, New York. In the short period that he had, which was not quite two years long, he co-developed Boyce-Codd Normal Form. Together with Donald D. Chamberlin he co-developed Structured Query Language (SQL) while managing the Relation Database development group for IBM in San Jose, California. He died in 1974 as a result of an aneurysm of the brain, just a few months after his marriage to Sandy when his daughter Kristen was just nine months old.
