You’re thinking of Sybase. That’s where the name “SqlServer” came from. Sybase sold a
source code license to Microsoft that included the right to use the name.
(I was a developer at Sybase in the VMS group in the late 1980s and early 1990s)

were a number of them besides Ingres - Informix, IBM's DB2, and one that started with
an S - which later was sold to Microsoft to become SQL-server to name a few, and that may
have been part of it.
