On the other hand, SQL Server is newer ...Always remember SQL Server carries Sybase genes; don't look at SQL Server 4.0 as SQL Server date of birth 😉
You're correct, but at least SQL Server will prune the dead branches from it's family tree from time to time. Microsoft has always been much more adaptable than it's competitors, even if a large percentage of their customers were drug along kicking and screaming, but in the end they've proven to be wise risk takers.
