What do you like best about SQL Server 2019?

Intellisense is quite good, but sometimes it is very hasty when SQL doesn't show Intellisense, and you have to write all the things on your own. IDQ has improved, always encrypted with secure enclaves and memory optimization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Server 2019?

Complex performance tuning features, no native support for source control, a burdensome licensing process that is constantly changing, which is quite complicated when you have to pay for multiple licensing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SQL Server 2019?

We can easily manage project data using SQL Server 2019. We can easily create, edit, update, and delete databases. Easily insert and update data in the database. Securities are best for connecting and using databases. It takes significantly less time to get data from databases, making the project faster. There is an encryption function in which the database saves the password encrypted, which helps keep the project secure. A stored procedure function is also available for getting data very fast, which helps handle data of large projects. We can create scripts to make copies of databases or transfer data or design of databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Server 2019?

For beginners, it is not easy to use this to handle the data of any project. It does not respond multiple times when changes are made in the database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SQL Server 2019?

We can easily manage databases of large projects as well as small projects. Very easy to get and store data in the database. This provides multiple functions for managing the database such as edit, update, delete data. We can easily create stored procedures for getting large data in very little time. When using this DBMS, our project performance is good and very fast. We can also transfer data from one system to another by creating a script. This is a perfect tool for handling databases.
