[edit] History section
This page needs a History heading to seperate past from today.
- This is done now. The original history stuff is now under the "timeline" heading. Will henderson 13:59, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
There should really be something about the merger with Powersoft
[edit] Number 2
"Sybase became the number two database system behind Oracle, after making a deal with Microsoft to share the source code for Microsoft to remarket on the OS/2 platform as "SQL Server"." What exactly does this mean? When was this?
[edit] How do you pronounce Sybase?

[edit] Debt to Britton-Lee
Sybase (and hence Microsft's) bcp utility is directly descended from a Britton-Lee utility of the same name. Also, if memory serves me correctly, Sybase's SQL dialect also grew out of the Britton-Lee experience. Sybase were earlier implementors of the stored procedure, but Britton-Lee were earlier, and while Sybase's Transact-SQL developed well beyond B-L's SQL, I don't remember having any great difficulty in migrating from one to the other. None of this is surprising, given that Sybase's original architects were Bob Epstein and Tom Haggin, who both had worked at Briton-Lee.
Does anyone know of any sources that can be used to prepare a Wikipedia article on Britton-Lee, and its relationship to other RDBMS's? Countersubject 07:18, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RE: Bad Products Selection
All of the products that were listed on this page were updates of the current A-Z product offering that is listed on the Sybase Web site (http://www.sybase.com/products/allproductsa-z). Products that were outdated had been removed and new products were added to the list. Would we be able to add the listing of the products again? --TrisDG 13:03, 29 November 2006 (UTC)TrisDG
[edit] Bad products section
Products section is an overly long list that gives no indication of the relative importance of the products listed. Normally for a company like this, the best thing to do is to only list the "important" ones. I don't happen to know which ones these would be, but I have a feeling most of the entries are just clutter. Snacky 03:30, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] God awful
This article is absolutely wretched. I hate to be another person who walks by, spits on it, and keeps moving, but I just never knew much about Sybase (we were always oracle shops). Can someone please help this article? For such a large impact on IT (or was it? ha-ha) wikipedia should have a better article on Sybase. Help! /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 07:20, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
