Agreed, I actually really like SQL server especially because of SSMS.
- wenc 8y agoOne of SSMS's strengths, as opposed to a generic database GUI IDE, is that it only works with one database: SQL Server (and variants like Azure SQL). This is important for accessing the specific features that distinguish that database from others, e.g. indexed views, clustered columnar indices, user-defined types, functions, linked servers, replication, HA, etc. There are so many cool and interesting features in MS SQL Server. I don't go for Microsoft products in general, Microsoft really got SQL Server right.
