- icedchai 5y agoDon't forget about Informix. Early 2000's had several commercial databases. I worked at both a Sybase shop and an Oracle shop. I far preferred Sybase.

- johnthescott 5y agonot so sure that is correct. ms sql WAS sybase from 1989 until the fork in 1993 and i have been told that substantial changes to the codebase did not occur until years after the 1993, during the jim gray tenure.
