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 ...
