The first (and bigger) diference is in the Price... :-) Some thousands of dollars to MS SQL Server...

There are others diferences... MySQL crash or freeze over 30 simultaneous connections (I know just about shareware version), MySQL does not support Commit, Rollback, and general SQL Transactions, and does not support Subqueries like this: mysql> SELECT * FROM table WHERE id IN (SELECT id FROM table2);

All of this "missing" in MySQL are documented in their own manuals.

MySQL is a good and popular data base manager, one of the best on my opinion. MS SQL Server is very good too, and if you need some of that above, you may change your data base manager, OR change your source code to work without this facilities.

The standard query language is also the same for all data base (MySQL, MS SQL, Oracle, Informix, etc etc etc), but all of them make "enhanchements" in the SQL. You most study your database manager to learn more about...
