"MSSQL Server review"
What do you like best about Microsoft SQL Server?

Easy to learn syntax and well documented learning material. it also follow the statandard SQL syntax. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft SQL Server?

Lack of protection against deleting the entire table since it does not make provision of where clause mandatory.

When you have sub-query on your query it allows the use of main query fields in the sub-query without explicitly referencing the main query table name or aliase, if this was done in error it will not raise any syntax error, it will just use the field of the main query if it's not found in the sub-query resulting with unexpected (and often unnoticed) results.
