COMPARATIVE STUDY ABOUT THE PERFORMANCES OF THE MICROSOFT SQL SERVER DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

Modem software applications use databases on a large scale. One of the most used management systems is Microsoft SQL Server, with its different versions (6.5, 7.0 and 2000 being the most recent). This study is intended to evaluate the performances of the Microsoft SQL Sewer database management system using tests scientifically fundamented, using different configurations and queries. The obtained results show a series of recommendations concerning the way a database is organized and designed, but also some surprising aspects regarding the access time to a database for some simple queries.
