Throughout this FAQ you will find references to SQL Server and, starting with this release, ASE or Adaptive Server Enterprise to give it its full name. You might also be a little further confused, since Microsoft also seem to have a product called SQL Server.
Well, back at about release 4.2 of Sybase SQL Server, the products were exactly the same. Microsoft were to do the port to NT. Well, it is pretty well documented, but there was a falling out. Both companies kept the same name for their data servers and confusion began to reign. In an attempt to try and sort this out, Sybase renamed their product Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) starting with version 11.5.
I found this quote in a Sybase manual the other day:
Since changing the name of Sybase SQL Server to Adaptive Server Enterprise, Sybase uses the names Adaptive Server and Adaptive Server Enterprise to refer collectively to all supported versions of the Sybase SQL Server and Adaptive Server Enterprise. Version-specific references to Adaptive Server or SQL Server include version numbers.
I will endeavour to try and do the same within the FAQ, but the job is far from complete!
