# Sybase/SAP ASE lineage

Revision 1 (11 October 2026) · Modeled snapshot · through 8 October 2026.

All figures are research-informed estimates of analytical activity. Significant errors may remain; decimal places do not imply measurement precision.

Layer: compute. Values cover the years in which this category appears in the public timeline. Absence is not proof of zero use.

## Names and inspection notes

### 1987–1994: Sybase SQL Server

The Sybase SQL Server lineage, later called ASE. This box counts its reporting and analytical workloads.

### 1995–1996: Sybase SQL Server

The Sybase SQL Server lineage, later called ASE. This box counts its reporting and analytical workloads. The IQ analytical database is a separate product family.

### 1997–2009: Sybase ASE

The Sybase SQL Server lineage, later called ASE. This box counts its reporting and analytical workloads. The IQ analytical database is a separate product family.

### 2010–2026: Sybase/SAP ASE lineage

The Sybase SQL Server lineage, later called ASE. This box counts its reporting and analytical workloads. The IQ analytical database is a separate product family.
