What is your primary use case for SQL Server?

I use SQL Server for its user-friendly interface and cost-effectiveness compared to other databases like Oracle.

We use SQL Server to query our database for specific reports we need to write for our clients.

We use SQL Server to host our ERP system. It serves both as the underlying database and server application software. This database solution handles all our ERP calls.

We use the solution as the backend for the application.

We do backups or restore or query tables to create the views, create some triggers to send the attachment report files, and to report on data.

We use the solution to install different databases.

Most of our clients use SQL Server as a back-end source.

We use the solution for continuous integration, including CI/CD integration.

We extracted data from SAP and stored it in SQL Server. We created a connection between the Data Services Server and the SQL Server. If anything went wrong, there were SQL Server experts who took care of everything. So, we extracted data from our ERP system and stored it in SQL Server.

The solution is used as our backend database for our in-house applications.

We use it for warehouse data management, as well as for statistical reports. It facilitates tabling and query processing while supporting multiple database operations.

We use the solution to provide the database layer for multiple applications.

This is the main database for our financial system. I'm the IT manager and we are customers of SQL server.

We use this solution to store our data and for running queries, simple select queries that enable me to create the views I need and report from those views. I'm an ESM specialist and we are customers of SQL Server.

It has all of our data. Our company sells contracts when you buy a car. We sell aftermarket insurance for the tyre, wheel, ding, dent, windshield, etc. When somebody buys a contract, we capture all of that data into a legacy database PostgreSQL, and my task is to incorporate that into our financial platform using T-SQL. So, I write queries, procedures, and views. I use SSIS, and I use SSRS. My job is to get the data into our financial system so that we can process claims, payments, cancellations, and refunds. In terms of its version, we're up-to-date. We have version 2019.

We use SQL Server for developing systems.

We are using SQL Server for data processing.

It is for supporting our custom applications. We have a number of custom applications that we use that have SQL embedded. I am using the version before the latest one.

All our databases are using Microsoft SQL. It supports our application, such as HR and finance.

SQL Server is only running in China, it is not connected to our site. We have some PCs running on Windows 7, but it is not supported.

We developed a product for banks and we store the data in SQL Server.

We use SQL Server for storing all our company information, such as ERP, customer applications, and our wealth management systems. All of our data is stored in SQL Servers.

I'm a web developer, and I use SQL for the backend.

We do data warehousing on it. We have databases on it. A lot of our applications use it for transactions and data. We're using version 2019. We're trying to migrate to 2021 because 2023 is not yet that stable.

We use the solution on FastAutomate, our core product, to store the aggregated data from different nodes. It resides on the server that's handling the agents. We also use it for different organizations for development. Therefore, we use it for development mainly.

SQL Server is our primary database for identity access management.

I have SQL Server running in an on-premise environment, but we are testing it out on the cloud. We are trying out using APIs to access a database. SQL Server creates a lot of opportunities for us. While some of the larger companies have Oracle, SQL Server is more common in Peru. I'm responsible for administration and implementation, including configuration and data replication.

I use the client, however, I can also use the server, the Microsoft SQL Server Studio. I can use both, both the client and the studio. We connected Automation Anywhere to the DB. Our reporting tool is also connected to that DB. Our financial application is also connected to the DB and some other databases too as well as some of our APIs.

I am an integrator of this solution and my customers use this for ETL and reporting.

This application is used as a contact center and would be great for banks.

We are an independent software vendor and users of this product. I'm a company founder.

We are a solution provider and SQL Server is one of the products that we implement for our clients. People use SQL Server primarily for business intelligence. If you have Navision or Dynamics AX, and you need a data warehouse to be able to improve the performance of your business, then that is what our company does. For this review I will describe one of our clients. They are a large company that owns convenience stores, and they do several billion euros a year in business world wide. The convenience stores are located in large travel hubs like airports, train stations, office buildings, and large supermarkets. Everyone who flies/travels a lot has shopped in their stores. In Romania, they have 300 stores and sell between 300,000 and 500,000 items a day across the network. This customer is very mature and we have provided a lot of features. The most important is forecasting. When the store manager comes to the store in the morning they receive an order proposal dashboard from us. We will have taken the data from the close of business the night before, then built a forecast for the manager to help decide what to order the next day. This a very important application. We are able to calculate the orders across the network better than the ERP can. Another use case has to do with the actual items in convenience stores. They sell products such as cigarettes, drinks, sandwiches, magazines, and more. In Eastern Europe, there's still a high percentage of people that smoke cigarettes, and what you want to do, as a retailer, is negotiate your contracts with the large vendors. There are people called buyers, and they sign contracts with the major suppliers. Our use case provides a tablet with a very rich dashboard to show everything that is going on between the buyer and the vendors that they buy from. In those negotiations, especially when dealing with very larger vendors, you sell millions of euros of goods, such as cigarettes, each year. The goal is that you are trying to get the vendor to give you a lower price. At the same time, the vendor is trying to get you to pay a higher price. That's business. In that discussion, the person with the best data gets the best price. Naturally, it's a high-conflict discussion and you have to have a way of taking out the conflict and replacing it with a more logical, rational argument. The person with the best data wins the argument and gets the best price. That capability is worth a lot of money. Although only a dozen people use it, it's one of the top applications used by that customer.

We use it for the banking database. It is for banking software, accounting software, and human resource software that we develop to run our bank. In our production environment, we are using SQL Server 2014 Enterprise, but we also have an installation of SQL Server 2019 for our development environment.

SQL is our main data store for enterprise applications, all applications that we have in the organization.

We're using SQL Server for database work.

I use the SQL Server for backups and for creating databases and a lot of other stuff. I also use it to shrink data and some stuff like this.

We are using it for storing important data.

We have a few transitional systems in our large company that we maintain with Microsoft SQL Server.

We use the product as a database, a data tool for everything.

We are using it for various applications.

Our use case is creating data warehouses using the SQL Server database. The solution is deployed on-premises and on public and private clouds.

All of our .NET applications and some of our third-party applications require a single server database, AutoCAD, and things like that. Our custom apps are the largest estate of databases. In our production environments, we're on version 17. I've worked with the most recent version but not in a production environment.

We primarily use SQL Server for reporting.

We primarily use the solution as a backend server. There are a few applications of the Oracle product for our data sitting on the SQL Server as well.

We primarily use the solution to store databases.

While we were still using the solution, we employed version 2008, which is a bit on the old side. We basically used the solution for hosting the database for Sage ERP.

We primarily use SQL Server as a database management system. This solution is deployed on-prem.

We have a large amount of information and data. We are using a lot of business models for our menu mix.

We are business consults. We use SQL Server to ensure that critical applications remain operational by performing BCM activities across application and database servers.

SQL Server is used for storing data.

SQL Server can be used for managing and storing information. I have a lot of databases with more than one terabyte of information and we use technology, such as Stretch database to switch out the information to Azure databases with this type of technology.

This client, specifically, is using it for Dynamics NAV. I don't know what they're calling it today. Microsoft changes the names all the time, 365 NAV Dynamics. This is ridiculous. We're using it for that, and we have more of a niche CRM database called Tour de Force. It's owned by a company called White Cup. They own a bunch of companies, and it sits on Microsoft SQL, as well.

We're primarily using the solution for our health record system.

SQL Server is the database for the transactional database that is being used. The solution can be used for the BI, the data warehouse part as well, but mostly I have seen it used for the transaction data being stored by the DBMS part of it.

We use SQL Server to manage and store information.

I am a professional and I use this SQL Server in different companies. One of the companies I worked for was in the automotive industry. They had automobile products which they developed the SQL Server and database. At that time it was the first time I used SQL Server. I have also used Suprema which is a biometric system that also had an SQL Server. Our main products for data we have used SQL Server. However, my main application is developed on Oracle and MySQL, not any other database solution. All of our systems use this solution, it can control security, data management, and integration.

We manage backups for our customers, so we are not developers and we don't use SQL to provide a service. We are a managed service provider focused more on IT support and SQL configuration. So we don't use SQL as a product by ourselves. Instead, we provide instructions for how to back up SQL and do maintenance on it for our customers who need a SQL server for their CRM and ERP products. Their products need to have a SQL server to use in order to use their services. So we handle the maintenance for our customers.

We provide support services to clients. We find that some of our clients are running the latest system while others are still on Windows 2016, others are moving to 2019. Some other clients take time to upgrade. If I interact with five clients, I'll basically be in five different environments. Our use case for the SQL Server is for transaction processing. We store all the transactions that occur. For example, if you now purchase something from the point of sale, all the information about the good you are purchasing gets stored on the SQL Server. When you perform a transaction that information is stored at the bank that owns the point of sale and perhaps even your bank, where your money is will be stored in a SQL Server. All the people in all of the organizations, which are involved in the process use SQL Server. If your transaction goes through my server, I store part of the transaction there, and if I have to route that transaction to Visa or Mastercard, they have their own SQL Server, and they also store the transaction up until you get receive your goods at the particular merchant. Almost everyone in that transaction stores the information on their respective Microsoft SQL server.

We are consultants and users of this solution and we deploy both on cloud and on-prem. The primary use case of this solution is for its Health Check feature. I'm the company owner and CIO.

We use SQL Server as a database management system for all of our projects.

We use Microsoft SQL Server as our main database. We implement our solutions to the client site, providing the machines and the SQL Server license depending on their requirements. The SQL Server is being deployed on-prem. Most of our clients are from the pharmaceutical industry. If there is a physical database, they want a self-hosted server always on-premises. However, the market is slowly adapting to cloud servers. Scalability and security have increased, so now people are going with cloud servers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Most of our clients are hosted on-premises and they have their own server, so we don't go with any cloud server. However, we are planning to move ahead with cloud servers for many of our clients.

We use SQL Server as a database solution.

We are using SQL Server for our financial application package.

We use the latest version. Most SQL Server applications come with package applications from the shelf. This means that when one buys an application, most of these applications work with SQL Server as a basis. They add SQL Server as a database to applications which come with it that one buys. As such, I don't see many people developing new applications with SQL server.

It's a normal DMS, so it can be used everywhere you want to use any RDBMS or relational database. It's for normal transactions.

The main use of this solution is to control and manage data storage information.

We used SQL Server to store all of our lab data on the database. We had a front-end application that needed SQL in the background for archiving all the laboratory data.

SQL Server can be useful for a lot of businesses and enterprise solutions. SQL Server is very powerful and useful when you need to store, retrieve, process, and analyze a large amount of data. In my organization, almost everyone uses SQL Server. That's about 10 people using it.

We primarily use the product for internally developed applications. There's some business intelligence and data warehousing used as well as some financial information.

We use SQL Server as a relational database mostly for the application backend activities and integrations.

Our product is called Orchida ERP and we have many clients in Egypt who are using this software. Its database is SQL Server. We mainly work in ERP. We currently have a small project in SharePoint for Microsoft, but 80% of our work is with Orchida ERP We have our software with SQL server for 20 years. Our software will not work without SQL Server. We provide consultancy in installing this solution for our clients.

Microsoft SQL Server is a database application, meaning it acts as the backend system for help with the backend data repository system. It concerns itself with every activity that happens at the front end of the database in Microsoft SQL Server. ERP Microsoft solutions is one reason that the SQL server has compatibility. The management of Microsoft SQL Server is actually quite easy. It has a GUI interface and enables a person to do whatever is required at the command line level. It functions as a repository for storing one's data in the relational database.

We use the solution for nearly all of the services we provide that utilize Windows Server. We use it to provide continuous service and in respects of our mail server.

Typically, the SQL Server is used in many, many ways. We primarily use SQL Server when there is a data requirement for our projects. Typically there are uses around where you are creating a database. I've yet to store the data in our RPA server. We need MS Excel through Microsoft. Any sort of RPA process where you require data through housing data or using a database, you need an SQL Server.

It's a database that we use for our commercial applications, and our ERP sits on it.

There are many applications between Microsoft and SQL. Most are in the legacy direction, but some are more modern databases with those application requirements. We have used it for multi-purposes such as back-office products applications and cloud office environments.

We are a solution provider and this is one of the products that we implement for our clients. It can be used for different things such as data warehousing and online transactional processing (OLTP). This is a product that I have never used in production, however.

Very pleasing and satisfying experience. * Used to create queries * Implemented store procedures * DBA can also use this effectively.

The customer's MES system use it. The database system desgin as always on architecture. Like Data guard in Oracle , always on contain double data and sync data by using transactions store in transaction log

* Effectiveness in a production environment * New features test

This is a departmental database engine which supports primarily localized solutions, data capture, and retrieval. However, with the exception of our aviation group, it is used for localized data lake or reporting solutions support.

I use SQL Server to optimize SQL queries and find the estimated cost of my queries. I also use it to fine tune my procedures and functions.

The database is primarily used as back-end storage.
