For what is the SQL Server of Microsoft used?
The SQL Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS). This software enables you to create databases, to compare them with each other, to comparatively evaluate them and to represent them as relations. The name stems from the programming language SQL (Structured Query Language) which was developed by IBM.
Which versions of the SQL Server are available?
First, there are the different server licences themselves – Standard and Enterprise versions. The latter are best suited for medium-sized to large companies.
How is the SQL Server licenced?
A distinction is made between the licencing by cores and by CALs(Client Access Licences).
Core licencing for Microsoft SQL Server
Core licencing requires the licencing of the number of physical cores of the server. The minimum number is 4 cores. The core licencing is particularly useful for applications which do not have a clearly delimitable number of users (from the Internet, for instance).
Which access licences should I use – Device CAL or User CAL?
When licencing by CALs, either the users or the number of devices which access the server are licenced. Choosing the cheaper variant for you depends on whether the users use many devices.
