MS SQL Server is so awful crap, you can just try any another DB to see that - I can't trust this author after "good old SQL Server". And I don't see nothing except boring oldman grunting in that article. Programmers should always learn and they know it from the beginning of their way.

Sure, they could scrap the whole thing and rewrite it in Grails, and add Rabbit 0.3 to make it run faster, but why scrap a working, stable profitable stack in pursuit of some shiny bauble?

- mrweasel 10y agoI never push SQL Server to hard, but it have always been stable and extremely well documented. It's certainly better than MySQL in many respects. Would you mind sharing a bit about how SQL Server has failed you? I would genuinely like to know, maybe there's some use cases where I need to at least be careful about picking SQL Server.
