You know, SQL, probably prior to 2008 or to, you know, 2012, I would probably say that it was considered kind of like a departmental application database. And so Microsoft has been growing its functionality quite a quite substantially. And you can see that, you know, early on it was like a three to four year release cycle, but they've sort of gotten down to a two year period. We had SQL 2012, 14, 16, we had 17 and 19. So they're releasing new versions of this product quite frequently now.
