Open-source databases gaining favor
Having worked with both mySQL and Microsoft's SQL Server I can say without hesitation that the former is the superior product: it's both faster and easier to access. It's also a lot more secure.

I will have to say that the database server is one area where M$ seems to have picked up some reliability: I've not have an SQL Server crash or go down on it's own. If only their operating systems were as stable.

Big companies are warming up to open-source database software as an alternative to Microsoft products, according to a new study.
