Microsoft and Ashton-Tate (blast from the past) worked on Sybase SQL Server of OS/2 to make it dBASE compatible; after that resounding success, Gates somehow talked Ashton-Tate into adopting the Sybase engine. Microsoft rewrote the Sybase engine at least 3 times I think

Unfunny anecdote: I worked for a consultancy called Oasis that had been for reasons that seemed good at the time bought by Sybase which was then the number 2 rival to Oracle the database company. The consultants obviously had a massive sense of superiority over the people who worked for the main bit

So far in enterprise AI Claude has taken the most, and in this area inertia is a very large driving force. Not totally, no one, for instance, remembers Sybase anymore. But still, if a corp goes with Claude they will stay with it absent a compelling reason.

Actually, Microsoft did not develop SQL Server: they bought it from Sybase, and it was built on Ingres from Berkeley. They ported it to Windows, but originally it was a Unix DB.

…because 4 September 1752 didn’t exist. We skipped from 2 to 14 Sep overnight, Julian to Gregorian. Which might well explain why someone at Sybase looked at that whole mess and decided to draw their line above it. #sqlserver

I always preferred Sybase to Oracle.
But I worked in the computer field in the 1990s. I might be dating myself.

He's dying to be relevant.
Gates has never had an original thought. Someone else already said it & he just copycats. He figured out how to squeeze billions from peddling flaky PC software. MS never developed anything good. SQL Server was arguably their best, but that was licensed from Sybase.
