- recursivecaveat 7y agoMy problem with SQL Server is that the name is so generic it sounds more like a product category than a product. Its like naming a word processor "Text Rendering Engine". Microsoft seems to be generally terrible at naming things: I don't know how they expected people to keep .NET Core, Standard, Framework, and Mono separate, not even counting how bad a name .NET is in the first place.
