    'MS' SQL Server is actually Sybase SQL that MS bought the product
    outright and rebadged it. Sybase has now written a new 'clean room'
    replacement.

    I have no doubt that Sybase/SQLServer is a full featured product, but
    the presenter probably came from a PC/Access background rather that
    from the corporate server end of the market.
