Why choose Microsoft SQL Server for your backend?

NetPotential offers SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 as an optional extra to all its plans. Microsoft SQL Server is used as a high-end database solution. It is an alternative to the lower-end Access, Foxpro, Dbase or even MySQL databases. SQL Server is an extremely fast and reliable database server.  At NetPotential we use SQL Server 2005 for all our client websites.

How do I manage my Microsoft SQL server database?

To use SQL Server 2000 it is preferable to either have Enterprise Manager or Visual Studio to manage the SQL server database, however, we do provide ASP.NET Enterprise Manager, which is an online version of Enterprise Manager for your use.  If you're using SQL Server 2005 you'll need Microsoft Management Studio, or again you will need to use the provided ASP.NET Enterprise Manager.
