Microsoft is, without any doubt, the biggest software developer in the world. And even though Windows and Office are their best known products, they also offer advanced business orientated applications. One of these applications is
SQL Server 2008, a database server. The application that we present here at Malavida.com is
SQL Server 2008 Express, the version designed for smaller projects, that doesn't need so many resources, and even better still, it's free.
SQL Server 2008 Express only has a few limitations in comparison with other editions of the application. These limitations affect the size of the
databases that is can work with (maximum of 4 Gigabytes), and the users that can simulataneously connect to it (maximum of 9 before losing efficiency). Being the perfect tool for
small companies and projects.
It is compatible with all other editions of
SQL Server 2008,
it scales with your needs. This also guarantees the applications
stability and efficiency. Moreover, it includes a graphical environment that allows the graphical use of
DDL and DML commands.
Furthermore, this product integrates perfectly with
Microsoft Access by means of the
ADP protocol, as well as being able to use
VBA Access for application development, with
framework .NET implemented for more complex application.
