Further History... Sybase was founded by [[Dr Robert Epstein]], the architect of a product called the Intelligent Database Machine (IDM) from [[Britton-Lee]]. This was a computer that only did relational database. It used IDL as its native language (a [[QUEL]]-based language similar but not identical to SQL) and also supported SQL. The architecture of that product was used as the starting point for Sybase, which began development from [[1984]](?). [[Software testing|Beta testing]] of Sybase's first product started in [[1986]].

Sybase SQL Server was the name of Sybase Corporation's primary relational database management system product from 1987 to 1995.

It was originally created for UNIX platforms in 1987. In 1988, SQL Server for OS/2 was codeveloped for the PC by Sybase, Microsoft, and Ashton-Tate. Ashton-Tate divested its interest and Microsoft became the lead partner after porting SQL Server to Windows NT.

Microsoft and Sybase sold and supported the product through version 4.21. In 1993 the codevelopment licensing agreement between Microsoft and Sybase ended and the companies parted ways while continuing to develop their respective versions of the database management system.

In 1995, Sybase released SQL Server 11.0. Thereafter, it decided to better differentiate its product from Microsoft SQL Server by renaming it to Adaptive Server Enterprise in versions 11.5 and beyond.

As of version 10, CTLIB (Client LIBrary) is used as the native, low-level programing interface. Previously, DBLIB (DataBase LIBrary) was used.

Sybase is the leading mobile database vendor. “DUBLIN, Calif. – January 23, 2007 - In a recent report, IDC recognized Sybase iAnywhere as a worldwide leading provider of mobile middleware. The report, Worldwide Mobile Middleware 2006-2010 Forecast and 2005 Vendor Shares (IDC #204829, December 2006), measured iAnywhere's higher revenues and market share-results that placed the company ahead of competitors.” [1] Sybase's mobile products include SQL Anywhere, Afaria, and OneBridge.
