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,

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

The
Timeline section includes contracdictory entries for the release of 11.5 and renaming to ASE. Was that done in 1995 or 1997? Additionally, why does the 1997 entry list a synopsis of the Sybase/Microsoft relationship? The relationship and reason for rename are adequately described earlier in

1997: Sybase’s flagship database product
Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) starts its life in the mid-eighties as "Sybase SQL Server". Microsoft is a Sybase distributor, reselling the Sybase product for OS/2 and NT under the name "Microsoft SQL Server." Around 1994, Microsoft begins independently

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

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.

I can say from personal experience that there's a great deal of actual history left out. System 10 very nearly killed the company off, as it was in no way suitable for production use. Given the web's tendency to erase history, it may be difficult to find a source for that.
1091:
It's my understanding SyBase is still in use by some companies who have found it difficult to impossible to migrate. There are independent contractors who maintain it for clients, they are SyBase expert freelancers. I believe one such company still using SyBase is
