SQL Server is scalable, easy to use, and very powerful.
Thanks for the software!
There are many reasons that makes Sql server far better than other rdbms.In simple words i like to say
1)GUI -it has got better GUI than other RDBMS
2)User-friendly
3)Intellisence:it has intelligence which can show all the commands r syntax when we type the starting letters
4)Integration with other applications and also the support it gives to dot net apps is superb and which is essential for every RDBMS
5)debugging is very easy and it is easy to identify errors thru the error msg we get ………….this is a big victory over other rdbms
and it also provides some built in functions and databases which helps to learn better sql and debugging and the list goes on……………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Compare to other RDBMS, SQL Server is more
user-friendly, easy to leran, easy to maintain.
Cost is comparatively modest.
Performance is excellent, and the optimizer is more advanced.
It’s the best RDBMS for Window platform.
Let’s be frank the others “kinda sux” in comparison. SQL Server is like the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars it always seems to come through with the hyper drive just when you need it. When the evil Lord Vader (Data Problems) comes along you have a light saber (MSDN Forums) close by. Everything is so easy, just like the saying “May the Force be with you!” I can drop and drag my way into any source solution. It is like i do not even have to think about what i am doing. Others such as Oracle 9i I have to really think about what i am doing. It’s like being on a speeder bike on forest moon of Endor there is always some obstacle to over come. SQL Server is by far the best RDBMS Applications on the market for being easy to use, price, data management, self-tuning, self organizing, and self maintaining. Love it and use it.

SQL Server is better than any other RDBMS applications because of following reasons.
SQL Server is a quality product that meets most business needs most of the time, at the lowest price point of any major DBMS vendor.
It has super usability at low cost,easy installation,self-tuning capabilities, graphical administration, integrated business intelligence and extensive collection wizards,real-time BI, management tools, database mirroring, integrated .NET and much more.
It is most secure DBMS having role-based security for server, database and application profiles; integrated tools for security auditing, tracking different security events and additional sub-events, plus support for sophisticated file and network encryption, including SSL,delegation.
And more on that now it supports cloud computing with Microsoft Sql Azure.It is a cloud-based relational database service built on SQL Server technologies.
Microsoft SQL Server provides the most intuitive RDBMS management suite that integrates seamlessly with Visual Studio, the most productive software development suite on the market. Microsoft SQL Server offers an ACID compliant RDBMS with advanced database features such as XML support, full-text search, OLAP data-mining and advanced SQL query management. The Microsoft SQL Server product suite offers versions to support everyone from the budget student learner up to the enterprise product manager.
bzu it’s Microsoft product :)
It’s easy to use.
Easy to…
Learn: SQL Server Express is ready for you.
Install: GUI based installer, click & click.
Maintain: SSMS, with friendly GUI.
Extend: Write CLR sp in VB.NET or C#.
Develop: Visual Studio has features for it.
Depoly: Integrated Windows Authentication, reuses your existed Windows Security Identifiers.
That’s how people choose SQL Server within 30 seconds.
(ok i lied, maybe longer)
Having had experience in several RDBMS products including Oracle, I must say that SQL Server is a superior product due to its scalability, ease of maintenance, flexibility, and overall bang for the buck. As a developer, I have found more capabilities in T-SQL for SQL Server 2005/2008 than in Oracle 10g. Currently I am porting T-SQL stored procedures to an Oracle 10g environment and I get frustrated in taking something that’s easily done in SQL Server and having to create a work-around to get similar functionality in Oracle.
To put it another way, even if I were offered more money to work on Oracle vs. SQL Server, I’d take the lesser paying job to stick with SQL Server. My overall stress level would be much lower!!
user friendly gui wizards/tools to manage sql server data.
1. SQL Server is a THE product that meets most business needs almost all the time, at the lower price range of any major RDBMS vendor
2. SQL Server’s popularity is especially because of its easy installation, self-tuning capabilities, graphical administration, integrated business intelligence and wide range of help wizards
3. The price-performance ratio is better than it’s competitors
4. Robust applications can be built with SQL Server as it features built-in log shipping, online backups, failover clusters and native support of virtual servers.
5. On Scalability lines SQL Server can handle un-imaginable throughputs
6. Security features include role-based security for server, database and application profiles, integrated tools for security auditing, tracking 18 different security events and additional sub-events, support for sophisticated file and network encryption, like SSL, Kerberos and delegation. Many of these features are available only as extra-charge options on other RDBMs
