this is from the users' manual:

"Development of the independent SAP DB software was begun in 1997 on the basis of the
ADABAS D software."

also if u search for "SAP DB History" on google and get a cached copy of the same history page u'll see more details:

"Installed ADABAS D customer base gets serviced by SAP AG "
"SAP AG resells ADABAS D under the name "SAP DB" "
"Fork of the ADABAS D code base "

seems someone is ashamed to mention ADABAS...
