Why migrate from MYSQL to SQL Server?

• MySQL, an open-source database management, does not provide many of the features provided by relational database systems, such as sub-queries, foreign keys, referential integrity, stored procedures, triggers, and views.
• It contains a locking mechanism that is not adequate for tables containing many write actions occurring simultaneously from different users.
• MYSQL is also lacking in reference to support for software applications and tools.

Migrating from MYSQL to SQL helps overcome the above inadequacies and gives you the following advantages:

• Leverage .Net Framework's highly productive and open standards based environment for integrating existing systems with next generation applications and services.
• Agility to solve the challenges of deployment and operation of enterprise scale applications.
• Improve your ability to manage mixed IT environments with Windows services for Unix.

• Self-tuning capabilities allow business applications to run optimally with little manual input.
• Automation of management tasks eliminates time consuming, manual activities.
• Tools to simplify cluster management.

• Built-in ETL and data analysis technologies enable the right information to get to the right people at the right time resulting in sound business decisions.

• Run multiple database instances independently on a single server
• Scale more efficiently using low cost x86 hardware to meet the needs of your growing business.
