SQL Access Group

The SQL Access Group (SAG) was a group of <a href="/facts/Software/RP79lVSW">software</a> companies that was formed in 1989 to define and promote standards for database portability and interoperability. Initial members were <a href="/facts/Oracle_Corporation/0z14FygH">Oracle Corporation</a>, <a href="/facts/Informix_Corporation/nwE3SKqG">Informix</a>, <a href="/facts/Ingres_(database)/Bp9kqJV4">Ingres</a>, <a href="/facts/Digital_Equipment_Corporation/ztxs6keA">DEC</a>, <a href="/facts/Tandem_Computers/m8syzN1q">Tandem</a>, <a href="/facts/Sun_Microsystems/VJ9EzEFd">Sun</a> and <a href="/facts/Hewlett-Packard/abuNSYNu">HP</a>.
The SAG started the development of the <a href="/facts/SQL/UjQLJcYm">SQL</a> Call Level Interface which later was published as an <a href="/facts/X%2fOpen/btwVKbX2">X/Open</a> specification.
In 1992, Microsoft released version 1.0 of ODBC which was based on the X/Open SQL CLI specification.
The SQL Access Group transferred its activities and assets to X/Open in the fourth
quarter of 1994.
