True enough that one should be concerned, but I've got a letter here dated August 17th from Greg Olson who is VP/Strategic Planning of Sybase that says:

     ...
     In keeping with its open systems approach, Sybase will continue
     to sell and support the SQL Solutions products that interface to
     non-Sybase databases such as Oracle, Informix, Ingres, Rdb and
     SQL Base.

     If you have any questions please feel free to call Steve Hershberg,
     Product Margeting Manager at (617) 238-6110.  Steve's E-Mail
     address is sdh_at_sybase.com.

I had also read in a note on this newsgroup that:

     ...
     <someone> talked to M.J.Kahn the product manager for SQR at SQL
     Solutions.  She said that greater than 50% of the SQR revenue
     is from Oracle users, and it would not make good sense to throw
     that away.

So, I dunno... mebbe things will be cool, mebbe no.
