Anybody know of any recent comparisons made between the two?
for purely SQL, I prefer Postgres by a wide margin. But, MS SQL Server comes with a whole infrastructure that includes a lot of powerful tools, like replication, data extraction and translation, active directory integrated single sign-on, and so forth. If you're working in a pure MS world, with .NOT -er- .NET, etc etc, its pretty hard to get away from MS SQL as there are so many tools
the bottom line tends to be driven by whatever the applications support. I have one MS SQL database in my lab hosting a program which only supports MS SQL. Luckily, the demands on this database are low enough that i can use the free SQL Express.
