Dec 26, 2017 · Microsoft SQL Server vs. MySQL: Similarities Both Microsoft and MySQL are relational database platforms, so they have several similarities. Most developers specialize in either one or the other, because although they appear similar, the way they work in the underlying architecture is very different.

Aug 14, 2008 · One thing you have to watch out for is the fairly severe differences in the way SQL Server and MySQL implement the SQL syntax. Here's a nice Comparison of Different SQL Implementations. For example, take a look at the top-n section. In MySQL: SELECT age FROM person ORDER BY age ASC LIMIT 1 OFFSET 2 In SQL Server (T-SQL):

Nov 21, 2009 · The fact that you do not use PL/SQL and/or Stored Procedures is a plus. A good rule of thumb is to try and stick to SQL-92 which most DBMSes support, in particular both Oracle and MySQL. (Note this is not the current SQL standard which is SQL-2008). A …

SQL stands for Structured Query Language, and is the basis for which all Relational Database Management Systems allow the user to add, remove, update, or select records. Things like MySQ are the actual Management Systems which allow you to store and retrieve your data, whereas SQL is the actual language to do so.

SQL is also known as Structured Query language is the based on relational algebra. sqlite, MySQL, MSSQL and etcs are part of SQL. They use all sql syntax but each database (sqlite, MySQL, MSSQL) have their own query convention. MySQl is a large scale entriprise database also known as Relational database management system.

Jul 2, 2017 · The scripting language for Sybase and SQL Server is called T-SQL. Strictly speaking, SQL Server is the database and T-SQL is the language, but the two are often used interchangeably when referring to code. MySQL's scripting language is documented in the reference manual. It is quite different from T-SQL.

An SQL JOIN clause is used to combine rows from two or more tables, based on a common field between them.

MySQL retrieves and displays DATETIME values in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format. The supported range is 1000-01-01 00:00:00 to 9999-12-31 23:59:59.

Dec 30, 2016 · Not so in MySQL, which sorts the values in the IN() list and uses a fast binary search to see whether a value is in the list. This is O(Log n) in the size of the list, whereas an equivalent series of OR clauses is O(n) in the size of the list (i.e., much slower for large lists)

Dec 16, 2009 · The other differences are syntactic and slight semantic differences which make things easier or harder (like top 500 versus limit/offset). But the real killer is that there are a ton of integrated tools and services on top of the RDBMS layers of MSSQL (Reporting Services, Analysis Services) and Oracle (Data Warehousing, RAC) which MySQL doesn't ...
