SQL Server Express
C Solutions specializes in working with Microsoft SQL Server, including
Microsoft SQL Server Express.
For many companies, and projects,
Microsoft SQL Server's Express Edition is an ideal database to
use.
You probably don't know it, but, a number of your competitors are
probably already using Microsoft SQL Server for their database
needs. Now, with Microsoft SQL Server Express, SQL Server is
available at a price everyone can afford - Free.

Database
Cost - Free
To start with, Microsoft SQL Server Express is available at a price
everybody can afford -- free.
Most likely, Microsoft offers SQL Server Express for free for a
number of reasons. First, it keeps people from using competitor
databases. Second, when users have out grown the abilities of SQL
Server Express, they are already used to working with Microsoft SQL Server, and
upgrading to a paid version of SQL Server makes great sense.

Superior Performance
One of the great things of working with Microsoft SQL Server Express is
it uses the same database engine as the full, paid versions of Microsoft SQL
Server. So, you will not be scrimping on performance in using Microsoft SQL
Server Express. And, when compared to Microsoft Access, it can give you great
performance increases, all at the low price of free.

you unlock your businesses full potential with Microsoft SQL Server Express.
Built for Multiple users, unlike Microsoft Access
Many companies use Microsoft Access as their database of choice. This
can work fine for a while but does have its limitations. Specifically, Microsoft
Access is not built to be used in a multiuser situation. To explain and put it
in English, if you have multiple users using an Access database across a network
at the same time bad things can happen. And if you are already doing this, you
might have already seen this happen. Some of the problems we've
had reported to us by clients is a whole day's worth of data lost,
with the database file crashing, data updates which were done were
missing or seemingly not applied, among other things. But, there's help out there. We are here to
help you with that. We specialize in migrating Microsoft Access databases to SQL
Server, including Microsoft SQL Server Express.

Stored Procedures
Microsoft SQL Server Express includes full support for Stored Procedures.
Stored procedures allow you to be able to perform multiple database functions
all on the database server. In English, when they are used, and used well, they
can greatly increase the speed of your database. We here at C Solutions
specialize in building and tuning Stored Procedures.

database needs as well. Is used the same way in a Web or
Windows environment.
Enhanced Security
Many people may work with Microsoft Access databases,
but are they aware of the security implications of doing so?
With Microsoft Access, there is little to no security built into the
database. Most anyone who can get access to the Microsoft Access
database file can change it, delete it, change the data without
permission, do most anything to it.
Things are much more secure with Microsoft SQL Server
Express. You can limit who has access to what data to just
about any level of detail you need or desire. This is near
impossible with Microsoft Access, but is built right into Microsoft
SQL Server Express. So, isn't the company data you've worked hard to
get and save worth keeping? With Microsoft SQL Server Express, you have a
great system available to keep that information safe and available
for years to come.
Here at C Solutions, we have specialized in working with
Microsoft SQL Server since even before it had a Windows look and
feel interface.

SQL Server Express Limitations
Like anything free, Microsoft SQL express does have its
limitations. Here is a listing of the main ones:
* Limited to using only up to 1 Gigabyte of memory. Note, this
doesn't mean the limit on the computer memory, merely the limit that
the program can use. Basically, you can use it with a computer that
has more than 1 GB of memory, but the program is limited to
only using 1 GB of memory.
* It can only work with and access 1 CPU. So, if you have a
multi-CPU computer, it will only use one of the available CPUs.
* Database file size limited to 10 gigabytes. For most small and
medium-sized businesses this is not a problem.
So, Microsoft SQL Server Express does have its limitations,
but, it is capable of providing all the database needs of most
businesses.
