(foldoc) | Microsoft SQL Server
A relational database management system (RDBMS)
which is part of Microsoft's BackOffice family of
servers. SQL Server was designed for client/server use
and is accessed by applications using SQL. It runs on
Windows NT version 3.5 or higher and is compliant with the
ANSI SQL-92 and FIPS 127-2 SQL standards.
SQL Server supports symmetric multiprocessing hardware;
SNMP, ODBC, and major open standard communications
protocols. It has Internet integration, data
replication, and data warehousing features.
Microsoft SQL Server was originally developed by {Sybase
Corporation} but the cooperation was broken sometime [when?]
before version 6.0.

Sybase SQL Server
(ASE) The relational database management system that
started life in the mid-eighties [first release?] as "Sybase SQL
Server". For a number of years Microsoft was a Sybase
distributor, reselling the Sybase product for OS/2 and (later)
Windows NT under the name "Microsoft SQL Server".
Around 1994, Microsoft basically bought a copy of the {source
code} of Sybase SQL Server and then went its own way. As
competitors, Sybase and Microsoft have been developing their
products independently ever since. Microsoft has mostly
emphasised ease-of-use and "Window-ising" the product, while
Sybase has focused on maximising performance and reliability,
and running on high-end hardware.
When releasing version 11.5 in 1997, Sybase renamed its
product to "ASE" to better distinguish its database from
Microsoft's. Both ASE and MS SQL Server call their query
language "Transact-SQL" and they are very similar.
Sybase SQL Server was the first true client-server RDBMS
which was also capable of handling real-world workloads. In
contrast, other DBMSs have long been monolithic programs; for
example, Oracle only "bolted on" client-server functionality
in the mid-nineties. Also, Sybase SQL Server was the first
commercially successful RDBMS supporting stored procedures
and triggers, and a cost-based query optimizer.
As with many other technology-driven competitors of Microsoft,
Sybase has lost market share to MS's superior marketing,
though many consider it has the superior system.
