I think BGI is using an even older version. Those guys handle a few billion trades a day using Sybase, and I don't see them upgrading any time soon. They tried switching to Oracle a few years back but the project got canned.

When I was there at BGI, almost all the business logic was encoded in Sybase triggers & stored procs. It was pretty painful debugging a trade due to all the triggers.
