Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft SQL Server

IT uses it to design queries within our ERP platform, as requested by various stakeholders throughout operations. There are over 100 separate queries that are used daily.

I use it for various accounting reports, as I find it provides more of an exact "what I'm looking for" than the canned reporting available through the ERP.
  • Able to zero down to a specific instance.
  • Having new queries on separate pages eases going back and forth.
  • The capability of changing databases quickly.
  • Older versions had an auto-fill feature for columns that seems to have disappeared. That's why I prefer using the 2008 version.
  • It's been a huge help, allowing me to quickly find info needed, rather than combining canned reports, or having to ask someone with more expertise for help.
Did not try any other products. This is the one I have used at my last two jobs.
Never used the support.
