dotnet general:
I am writing a paper on the history and evolution of SQL Server and I'm
having a hard time finding good resources that talk about the product from it's beginning at Sybase and over the years at Microsoft. Below are a list of links I have so far but I was hoping maybe some MVP's or Microsoft employees might be able to point me at some better resources or tell me who to email. http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2001/jun01/06-28sql.asp http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Sybase-ASE-HOWTO/introduction.html#AEN46 http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/1998/6-29sql.asp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_SQL_Server http://www.microsoft.com/sql/evaluation/anniversary/timeline.asp http://www.pulagara.com/sqlserver/evolution.htm http://www.ispirer.com/doc/sqlways37/Output/SQLWays-1-087.html http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=130898&redir=1 Any help that anyone can provide is appreciated. Thanks, Jason
I was at MS when they began the Sybase / Ashton Tate partnership. Perhaps I
can provide some insight. I remember some of the details and the inside info from those days. I was asked to form a team of course developers and trainers to build courseware around SQL Server. I did so and taught courses based on the Sybase / OS/2 product for 5 years as it evolved to IIRC 6.5 or 7.0 when MSU folded. I would be happy to talk to you about this. I'll be at home this afternoon. I live in Redmond and I'm in the book. -- ____________________________________ William (Bill) Vaughn Author, Mentor, Consultant Microsoft MVP www.betav.com Please reply only to the newsgroup so that others can benefit.

Hi Jason
The first chapter of my book "Inside SQL Server" is the history of the product.

Unfortunately, that site isn't kept up to date as well as I wish it was and I think the email link is out of date . I'm planning on reviving it after the NEXT version of the book comes out. A better site to use to get in touch would be the site for my company Solid Quality Learning, in my sig.You can also click on the Solid Quality Learning link on the home page of the Inside SQL Server site. -- HTH ---------------- Kalen Delaney SQL Server MVP www.SolidQualityLearning.com [quoted text, click to view] "Jason Mauss" <jason dot mauss at gmail.com> wrote in message news:OaAxjFDUEHA.2908@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... > Hi Kalen - I actually tried to contact you about this (last night) through > your "insidesqlserver.com" website - did you get the feedback I left?
