"Perks of using MS SQL server"
What do you like best about Microsoft SQL Server?

First thing I really like about MS SQL server is how we can run a part of the query by just selecting that part and just running it.

In MS SQL server it's really easy to switch databases, and it's really convenient to upload files on SQL server.

It conveniently handles different types of files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
