Well, SQL Server is only returning to where it began life (as a port of Sybase). From Wikipedia: 1988: Sybase, Microsoft, and Ashton-Tate port the Sybase RDBMS to the OS/2 platform. Microsoft markets the new product as SQL Server. 1993: Sybase and Microsoft dissolve their partnership. Microsoft got a copy of the SQL Server code base. Sybase SQL Server version 4.2 and Microsoft SQL Server are identical. Their Transact-SQL (T-SQL) procedural language is the same, as is the basic process architecture. From this point there was divergence as Microsoft included more Windows features ...
