I could have sworn that way way way back when MS-SQLServer just started out it was a "fork" of Sybase Unix code??? I kinda remember that happening in like the 90's and then like usual Microsloth screwed it's partner (Then Sybase that did a lot of the work on the initial windows port)

Of course I maybe having some sort of strange drug induced flashback but kinda remember this?

TFA states as much: When someone says Microsoft SQL Server you could think of two things. One is the relational server(sqlservr.exe) that has its origins at Sybase and was re-written by Microsoft to produce Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 and later versions.
