Line 26: Having worked at Ashton Tate in the SQL group at that time, my memory is that the only people at Ashton Tate that had anything to do with SQL Server was the marketing department - in an aborted Ashton Tate branding by Microsoft of SQL Server on OS2. We had nothing to do with it. It was all Sybase. I can't get to the reference listed for this - Backup & Recovery: Inexpensive Backup Solutions for Open Systems - but I can't see why it would be a good reference for this.

It was essentially an OS/2 port of Sybase's SQL Server on Unix. SQL Server 4.2, the first version on Windows, shipped in 1992."''
