Not exaclty. Sybase 4.21 = MS SQL server 4.21. But then they ended their relationship (much like MS and IBM did over OS/2). This was somewhere around the mid 90's. Since then Sybase has renamed their enterprise product to Adaptive Server Enterprise, and versions 10, 11, 11.5 and beyond have always been available on windows. A few years after they split up with Microsoft, they bought the product SQL Anywhere (forgot the firm they bought it from). It took them a few years to make this product 100% SQL compatible with ASE. This product was ported to some Unix platforms around that time too. -- __________________________________________________ "Nothing is as subjective as reality" Reinoud van Leeuwen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xs4all.nl/~reinoud __________________________________________________ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
