I had no idea StackOverflow was using Microsoft SQL Server. I guess its just a learned response but i've always come to expect some large networking site to always be using a non-MS based solution.

I havent had a chance to watch the video, but i hope to later on. What is interesting, even with just the link is that for a website like StackOverflow that MS SQL is a viable solution.

We have been using SQL Server in our own company for our projects and i was really starting to get annoyed with it. I found it to be heavy on resources, slow to respond and lets not forget cost. I just completed a project that i have been working on for the last 4 months, and the majority of the work was within SQL server. One thing i learned was that its actually quite a powerful beast.

When used correctly and in the right way SQL is a very capable SQL solution. I'm glad that we decided to stick to SQL Server. There is a lot i learned about SQL Server in the last 4 months that i had no idea it was capable of.
