Microsoft SQL Server is one of the most approachable enterprise databases available.
SQL Server is strong on the web because of its easy of setup and maintenance and because of its close integration with other Microsoft products, including Visual Studio (Visual Basic, Visual C++ and Visual InterDev) and IIS. It also includes native XML support, and is easily accessed with Transact-SQL language.
SQL 2000/2005 includes Enterprise Manager, a graphical tool that allows administrators to manage one or many servers easily from a central management console. SQL Server 2000 also makes setting up advanced features like failover clustering straightforward.
