Wrong again Lucky Star. Progress database is a "SQL Relational" database - it stores data in "rows" and "columns" and data is accessed "relationally" instead of accessing by "physical" address. A SQL language is used to access the data. This would be the definition of a SQL database- just like ORCL,SYB,INFX,DB2 and Microsoft SQL server. However, as with all Database vendors, the internal architecture used to develope the product is specific to the vendor. You may be right that MSFT is not interested in PRGS but I'm betting someone is. Revenues have declined due to poor execution in marketing and sales and not because it's a "dead" product.
