History

Microsoft SQL Server began in 1989 as a product called SQL Server 1.0 for the OS/2 operating system. Some key milestones in SQL Server's history include the introduction of versions for Windows NT in 1993, the end of collaboration with Sybase in 1995, a conversion of the source code from C to C++ for version 7.0 in 1998, and the completion of rewriting the original Sybase code as Microsoft code for SQL Server 2005. The current versions supported by Microsoft are SQL Server 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2017, with 2017 being the most recent release and SQL Server 2019 slated for release later in 2019.

Main article: History of Microsoft SQL Server

The history of Microsoft SQL Server begins with the first Microsoft SQL Server
product—SQL Server 1.0, a 16-bit server for the OS/2 operating system in 1989—and
extends to the current day.

Milestones

 MS SQL Server for OS/2 began as a project to port Sybase SQL Server onto OS/2 in 1989, by
Sybase, Ashton-Tate, and Microsoft.
 SQL Server 4.2 for NT is released in 1993, marking the entry onto Windows NT.
 SQL Server 6.0 is released in 1995, marking the end of collaboration with Sybase; Sybase
would continue developing their own variant of SQL Server, Sybase Adaptive Server
Enterprise, independently of Microsoft.
 SQL Server 7.0 is released in 1998, marking the conversion of the source code from C to C++.
 SQL Server 2005, released in 2005, finishes the complete revision of the old Sybase code into
Microsoft code.
 SQL Server 2017, released in 2017, adds Linux support for these Linux platforms: Red Hat
Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Ubuntu & Docker Engine.[3]
