Microsoft SQL Server
MS SQL Server is a relational database management system produced by Microsoft. It supports Microsoft's version of Structured Query Language (SQL), the most common database language. Microsoft SQL Server is a comprehensive database platform providing enterprise-class data management with integrated business intelligence (BI) tools. The MS SQL Server database engine provides secure, reliable storage for both relational and structured data, enabling to build and manage highly available, performant data applications.
The MS SQL Server data engine lies at the core of this enterprise data management solution. Additionally, MS SQL Server combines the best in analysis, reporting, integration, and notification. This enables to build and deploy cost-effective BI solutions allowing driving data into every corner of business through scorecards, dashboards, Web services, and mobile devices.
Close integration with Microsoft Visual Studio, the Microsoft Office System, and a suite of new development tools, including the Business Intelligence Development Studio, sets MS SQL Server apart from the other relational database products in this market segment. |

Oracle
Oracle database server is an object-relational database management system; this is the first database designed for enterprise grid computing. The Oracle grid architecture pools large numbers of servers, storage, and networks into a flexible, on-demand computing resource for enterprise computing needs.
Oracle Database provides a high degree of self-management - automating routine DBA tasks and reducing complexity of space, memory, and resource administration.
Oracle has a number of products and features that provide high availability in cases of unplanned downtime or planned downtime. These include Fast-Start Fault Recovery, Real Application Clusters, Recovery Manager (RMAN), backup and recovery solutions, Oracle Flashback, partitioning, Oracle Data Guard, LogMiner, multiplexed redo log files, online reorganization. These can be used in various combinations to meet specific high availability needs.
Oracle SQL is a superset of the ANSI/ISO SQL:1999 standard.
Oracle Database developers have a choice of languages for developing applications: C, C++, Java, COBOL, PL/SQL, and Visual Basic. Oracle also provides .NET data access support through the Oracle Data Provider for .NET.
Supported platforms are as follows: Linux (x86/x86-64/zSeries/Itanium/Power), Microsoft Windows (32-bit/x64/64-bit Itanium), Solaris (x86/64-bit), AIX5L, HP-UX PA-RISC, HP-UX Itanium, HP Tru64 UNIX, HP OpenVMS Alpha, IBM z/OS, Mac OS X Server. |

MySQL
MySQL is a multithreaded, multi-user, SQL (Structured Query Language) Database Management System (DBMS) with an estimated six million installations. MySQL AB makes MySQL available as free software under the GNU General Public License (GPL), but they also sell it under traditional commercial licensing arrangements for cases where the intended use is incompatible with use of the GPL.
There are APIs available that allow applications written in numerous programming languages to access MySQL databases, including: C, C++, C#, Eiffel, Smalltalk, Java, Lisp, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, REALbasic and Tcl; each of these uses a specific API. An ODBC interface called MyODBC allows additional programming languages that support the ODBC interface to communicate with a MySQL database.
MySQL works on many different platforms-including AIX, BSDi, FreeBSD, HP-UX, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, NetBSD, Novell NetWare, OpenBSD, OS/2 Warp, QNX, SGI IRIX, Solaris, SunOS, SCO OpenServer, SCO UnixWare, Tru64, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and more recent versions of Windows. A port of MySQL to OpenVMS is available here. |

Microsoft Access
Microsoft Access is a relational database management system from Microsoft, packaged with Microsoft Office Professional which combines the relational Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a graphical user interface. It can use data stored in Access/Jet, SQL Server, Oracle, or any ODBC-compliant data container. It supports substantial object-oriented (OO) techniques but falls short of being a fully OO development tool.
Access is widely used by small businesses to create ad hoc customized systems for handling small tasks. Some professional application developers use Access for rapid application development, especially for the creation of prototypes and standalone applications that serve as tools for on-the-road salesmen. Access does not scale well if data access is via a network, so applications that are used by more than a handful of people tend to rely on a Client-Server based solution such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, or MaxDB. However, an Access "front end" (the forms, reports, queries and VB code) can be used against a host of database back ends, including Access itself, SQL Server, Oracle, and any other ODBC-compliant product. This approach allows the developer to move a matured application's data to a more powerful server without sacrificing the development already in place. |
