Installation of SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server is a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) that can be used on a variety of platforms, including small single-processor computers and big multiprocessor servers. Numerous websites and business CRMs utilize SQL Server as their backend system since it supports thousands of concurrent users.

To assist you with your database administration and programming chores, SQL Server includes a number of tools. Compared to desktop database management systems like Microsoft Access, SQL Server is significantly more stable and scalable. The issues that were produced when too many users attempted to access the database will surely be recognizable to anyone who has ever tried using Access as a backend to a website!

SQL Server is most frequently used as a server database system, while it can also be used as a desktop database system.
