When to use Microsoft SQL Server over Microsoft Access

Over the period of time, two important tools that have taken the world by storm and they are Microsoft SQL server and Microsoft access. Though the latter has largely evolved over the last couple of years but corporates are reducing its use for several good reasons and paying due heed to Microsoft SQL server. Some of the reasons why IT professionals want to escape from the use of Microsoft access are quite valid. The use of Access database in areas where high security of information is required has been negligible. Areas as in education industry, defense, hospitals where lot of information have to be stored pertaining to students, army officials and patients and security of the data is to be maintained, Microsoft access fails to comply with the need. Use of Microsoft Access database to store information can lead to data tracing by outsiders for wrong and illegal use.

But Microsoft server is better and augmented platform which can be used for several good reasons:-

·         Microsoft SQL server can be set to automatic back up

·         It can do incremental back-ups which implies it can do back-ups during day than just at night

·   Microsoft SQL Server can handle terabytes of data where as in Microsoft Access even 1 gigabyte is questionable.

·        Microsoft allows to do some of the system’s processes on the server board via stored procedures and data transformation services where as Microsoft Access requires the client to do the needful processing.

There are numerous other reasons why corporates wish to use Microsoft SQL server. In fact IT companies are looking for professionals who can deftly make use of the technology. SQL requires understanding of technical subject to skillfully implement client’s requirements and generate quality results.
