MS bought the Sybase code and forked it into MS SQL Server, but both databases continued. Sybase continued as "Sybase" for years after the fork, and still exists as a separate database called SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise. The difference is that Postgres got a SQL front end and was renamed Postgres95, and then PostgreSQL to reflect the change, but it was one project continuing on a direct path. I'd say it's more like calling "Red Hat Enterprise Linux" just "Red Hat." </extra-pedantic> :-P<br><br><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Jeff Hubbs" <jhubbslist@att.net><br><b>To: </b>ale@ale.org<br><b>Sent: </b>Friday, October 30, 2015 10:00:07 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [ale] Topic ideas for November meeting<br><br>Just remember that saying "Postgres" when you mean "PostgreSQL" is a lot <br>like referring to "Microsoft SQL Server" as "Sybase." </pedantry><br><br>On 10/30/15 9:14 AM, Phil Turmel wrote:<br>> Ah, so you *do* read minds!<br>><br>> On 10/30/2015 09:12 AM, Jim Kinney wrote:<br>>> So postgres use with libreoffice?<br>>><br>>> :-)<br>>><br>>> On October 30, 2015 9:09:28 AM EDT, Phil Turmel <philip@turmel.org> wrote:<br>>><br>>> On 10/30/2015 07:46 AM, Jim Kinney wrote:<br>>><br>>> I want to hear ideas from people for the Ale central meeting.<br>>><br>>><br>>> I'll be missing this one due to a conflict with a Postgres User group<br>>> special event.<br>>><br>>> So, please pick a topic I don't care about :-)<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Ale mailing list<br>> Ale@ale.org<br>> http://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo/ale<br>> See JOBS, ANNOUNCE and SCHOOLS lists at<br>> http://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo<br>><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Ale mailing list<br>Ale@ale.org<br>http://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo/ale<br>See JOBS, ANNOUNCE and SCHOOLS lists at<br>http://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo<br></div><br></div></body></html>
