There's a broad middle ground between "run-of-the-mill DML" and queries with linked servers; my point was simply that you can feasibly develop against Sybase for MS SQL Server deployment, or vice versa. Not that it's ideal, again, but you can use the vast majority of T-SQL commands (as opposed to "run-of-the-mill" ANSI SQL) and get identical results since Sybase and MS SQL Server are a lot closer than any other two enterprise database platforms.
