Ms Sql Server/ Access

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS). Its primary query language is Transact-SQL, an implementation of the ANSI/ISO standard Structured Query Language (SQL) used by Microsoft and Sybase. The architecture of Microsoft SQL Server is broadly divided into three components: SQLOS that implements the basic services required by SQL Server, including thread scheduling, memory management and I/O management; the Relational Engine , which implements the relational database components including support for databases, tables, queries and stored procedures as well as implementing the type system; and the Protocol Layer that exposes the SQL Server functionality.

 

Microsoft Access is a DBMS (also known as Database Management System) from Microsoft that combines the relational Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a graphical user interface and software development tools. It is a member of the Microsoft Office suite of applications, included in the Professional and higher edition or sold separately. Microsoft Access stores data in its own format based on the Access Jet Database Engine. It can also import or link directly to data stored in other application and databases.
