- CharlieDigital 1y agoI spent the early part of my career in MSSQL and the current part in Pg. MSSQL is extremely, extremely capable as a database engine. But it also costs an arm and a leg. People who haven't used it don't know just how capable it is.
- AdrianB1 1y agoThe Express Edition is a SQL database engine with some limitations on CPU count and memory and missing SQL agent. It is free. I installed the version 2017 on some servers 7 years ago and they still run some supplier portal on it, that team was too lazy to even upgrade to newer versions.
- senderista 1y agoI have worked with multiple ex-SQL Server engine devs and holy shit are they good.
- AdrianB1 1y agoSQL Server is very good, while cheaper than Oracle. This is a good selling point for enterprises that care about cost (or are too cheap).
- unixhero 1y agoWhy not Postgresql??? It is fre and the best.
