5.0

Pros

It's Microsoft's flagship database. When you need more than 1 Million rows, you upgrade from Access to this.

It's expensive and needs some babying to install on a server. Not as easy to use to Access, but similar theme and easy to learn eventually.

### "It is not that bad"

October 16, 2016

4.0

Great !! I am using SQL since I was in high school. It has a great interface, Being open source helps a lot of people who cannot afford to buy a license of the software to study , so it is a good way of learning and implementing. There re so many features and now inclusion of automatic creation of table is one of the best feature that they have included in it.

October 17, 2016

5.0

At SpaceX, there are numerous amounts of data that need to be stored and to be used. SQL server has a huge capacity to store those data, and at the same time share data across the company. You don't need to send 10 different excel files, and SQL server allows all data to be accessed by everyone. I really like how SQL server has helped advanced my career.
