Databases: SQL Server

MS SQL Server is probably my favorite DBMS. I have over 6 years experience working with SQL Server and I am extremely comfortable with it.

I am proficient not only with development concepts but also administrative and maintenance concepts. I am adept with Data Transformation Services (DTS) and have used it for a myriad of purposes from merging heterogenous data sources to routine backup applications.

I’ve used MSDE (now SQL Server 2005 Express Edition) for web applications as well as stand-alone desktop applications and when possible will use it instead of other methods.

It is important to note however that I am not a Microsoft junky. I fully embrace other technologies (such as MYSQL) when it is logical to do so.

I am currently studying SQL Server 2005 concepts since DTS is no longer used and coming up to speed with SQL Server Business Intelligence, Management Studio, and Analysis Services.
