> Sybase SQL for a project these days. It's legacy tech.
1) SQL Anywhere is not "Sybase SQL." Different products, with SQL Anywhere being an embedded database that can run on a smartphone and replicate bidirectionally to other masters.
Not many alternatives, even in 2020.
2) Legacy tech - when you care about your data, accept nothing less.
Fun fact: the #1 most popular and regarded RDBMS for the past few years is considered to be MySQL, and it was the key technology that powered both Web 1.0 and 2.0. If that's legacy, I want more legacy.

- icedchai 6y agoYes, I know they are different products. Early on, MySQL was known for anything but caring about your data. I've been using it since the 90's. Without "strict" mode, fields would be truncated and data types would be silently converted. Never mind the <5.x days where MyISAM was the default table type.
