Enterprise level database management platform

Pros

I like that it has a lot of documentation and great support. It helps you with the syntax of the queries by completing your code. It allows you to edit the tables once they are created. You can generate reports from the tables in the database.

Cons

Sql Server has many options, in the main menu, it is a bit complicated to understand what each option does, especially at the beginning.

MS sql server is one of the most widely used sql servers in the world. It is especially compatible when you have host of applications like SharePoint running in any organization. It is a quite stable and quite popular among a host of databases in the world. It is also compatible with MS Access and MS Excell when you need to port data. Reporting should also be convenient and easy. Performance can be quite an issue but in short this is a database which is a must have for organizations around.
