What is the difference between SQL and MS SQL?

Which is better MySQL or Microsoft SQL?

In terms of data security, the SQL server is much more secure than the MySQL server. In SQL, external processes (like third-party apps) cannot access or manipulate the data directly. While in MySQL, one can easily manipulate or modify the database files during run time using binaries.

What is MS SQL used for?

SQL is used to communicate with a database. According to ANSI (American National Standards Institute), it is the standard language for relational database management systems. SQL statements are used to perform tasks such as update data on a database, or retrieve data from a database.

Does Microsoft SQL use SQL?

Like other RDBMS software, Microsoft SQL Server is built on top of SQL, a standardized programming language that database administrators (DBAs) and other IT professionals use to manage databases and query the data they contain.

Is SQL better than MS Access?

Access allows users to create tables and queries by manipulating icons and using wizards. SQL Server is more for the expert and only gives the user a command-line interface, so it is less intuitive and takes a longer time to learn.
