Emeryville, California-based Sybase Inc bought all rights to the SQR, Easy SQR, and Easy SQR for Windows SGL-based proprietary language reporting tools developed by SQ Software Inc. Sybase has been selling and supporting the tools since 1988 under the SQR Family line, which also includes the SQR Developer’s Kit developed by SQL Solutions, through its SQL Solutions consulting organisation, but it says that by merging SQ Software’s tools directly into its SQL Lifecycle tools product line, it can more effectively support and enhance them. The SQR Family supports Sybase, Oracle, Rdb, Ingres, Infor mix, SQL Base and SQL Server. The terms of the deal were not given.
