With a database that reduced the bottleneck
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Microsoft SQL Server from other similar products?
It is provided to be added and used with simple configurations in the cloud or on the rental server. It can be easily installed on-premises with a single click as per the installer. After initial installation, CUI processing is required to be accessible from GUI management tools such as Microsoft dashboard but can be easily managed with GUI management tools. I handled tuning, backup, and recovery with some knowledge and research. We could develop with modules provided by languages such as PHP, ASP, Visual Basic, and C# for Windows and Linux.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I have been using it since last fall, but it has a stable feel and has not caused any problems. No need to restart services. Features such as group conflicts and case-when-if-not configuration are also possible, and aggregation can be done in SQL, which is very convenient. We handled the data in a spreadsheet, but the processing speed was slow, and the waiting time increased. Data can be retrieved and updated quickly. It is good that it can be easily introduced when prototyping a web system.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There are many rudimentary and primary documents, but the difficulty is that there is little information about the environment when fed into a large-scale processing system.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It was an environment for web application development using Microsoft SQL Server. I was very concerned about the environment for web application development using Microsoft SQL Server in the cloud, but the compatibility that can be installed and operated anywhere, stable cooperation modules with scripting languages such as PHP and ASP, and a lot of information related to the development and operation. Thanks to this, everything from installation to development and operation went smoothly without any significant hitches.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
