Whatever gave you that idea?  IBM created SQL before Microsoft
existed!  It has been an ISO standard since 1987.

You need to learn some history. MicroSoft predates 1987 by quite
a bit.


Um, if memory serves me, IBM created SQL in the '60s.

But that wasn't his point. I don't know when SQL was created,
and wasn't making that claim. However, his claim seemed to
be that MicroSoft doesn't predate 1987, which is absurd.
