IBM more likely

not yet sure whether this is a plus. :-))

Associating SQL with MS is one I sure have a hard time imagining. If one
actually reads the cited wikipedia page, one sees that it originated in
1974, before MS even existed.

I've never actually used it on an MS system, though I have an MS client
for my servers that use SQL (from Fortran) on Sun systems.
