MySQL vs SQL Server Express (Compare Free DBMS) I am searching for a comparison table between MySQL and SQL Server Express.

Comparisons should include...


Usage limit
Tools (management/dev/backup/monitoring/...)
"simultaneous connection"


It's for my company, I need to know what should I install.

It's for migrating from access db

if you have opinion, suggestions,....

Thank you
I will be totally honest with you. While MySQL works fine in Windows, I would not recommend it for any Enterprise use in Windows.

You should go with SQL Server Express because you will have a database that works great in Windows for Free. Should your company fully commit to Enterprise Database usage, you could simply upgrade to SQL Server (different advanced versions).

If you are going for moderate budget, go with MySQL, BUT SWITCH TO Linux. High Availability solutions fit Linux and Unix, not Windows.
