Whilst that is true - I've only ever worked on environments that do both.
And here no one wants 2 db servers, on 2 machines with 2 different dialects of SQL.
At least if IQ, ASE and HANA shared the same dialiect we might ever think about having both.
(although IQ and ASE are pretty close and 90% of all code will port easily)
