    I have over 25 years of experience writing software and administering databases. I am a PHP web developer with experience in Laravel, CodeIgniter, CakePHP, core PHP, and some Vue.js. I prefer to use an MVC pattern as provided by a good framework such as Laravel or CakePHP, but can also work with older PHP applications. I design and maintain databases in MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Lite. I started as a PHP developer using the CakePHP 2 framework; this is where I first learned the MVC pattern, where manipulating, presenting, and controlling data is abstracted out. I then added SASS, to make CSS easier to write and maintain. For the user interface, I use bootstrap or the tailwind responsive framework along with jQuery or Vue. For non-Vue applications, I can use Smarty for view templates, but am also well-versed in using Blade, CakePHP, and CodeIgniter templates. I prefer to use Laravel for most projects; it provides better overall functionality than other frameworks and a superb ORM. I have recently started using Vue in projects via an open-source project called Inertia.js. Inertia bridges the gap between Vue and Laravel. This gives the best of both worlds where you get the power of Laravel on the back-end and the modern, sleek feeling of Vue on the front-end where your customers interact with the system. I started life after college (1998) as a Microsoft Visual C++ developer with some Visual Basic. In that role, I developed applications for law enforcement, 911 centers, jails, retail businesses, nursing homes, and trucking companies. I then moved into the .NET Framework in 2001. I set out to learn C# and have since developed many object-oriented and tiered client/server applications. These include applications for GIS mapping systems and some data mining and sharing initiatives. I have created custom TCP/UDP servers and clients for low-bandwidth mobile applications. I have worked with O/R mappers such as LLBLGen Pro and became accustomed to using entities in data layers rather than reading/writing data directly. My first database was Access 95 (yes, I know). From there, I moved into SQL Server 7.0, where I designed and maintained many databases. Database concepts such as normalization/denormalization, primary/foreign keys, and check/default constraints are not new to me. Whether it be T-SQL, PL/SQL, or MySQL, I am proficient with database programmability, such as triggers, procedures, functions, and views. File organization and usage, backup and maintenance, and database efficiency are also strengths. I currently primarily use MySQL, where available and PostgreSQL where it is not. Other databases include SQLite and Oracle. I have used a number of servers for hosting my web applications. I prefer either Ubuntu or CentOS running nginx and php-fpm with MySQL for the database. With the right configuration, this simply offers the best performance. I am proficient in the use of source control systems such as Git, Mercurial, SVN, Vault, and SourceSafe. Git really is the best choice here but Mercurial comes in at a close second. During the past two decades, I have created and maintained custom line-of-business applications, with a focus during the past ten years on web applications. I feel that I can be an added asset to your organization, even if it is only for the short-term. I've done a mix of short projects, several-month projects, and long-term engagements lasting a year or more.

    I have 15 years of experience working with Drupal and 20 years of experience with full stack Web development. I've worked almost exclusively with Drupal for the past 6 years. I currently manage 2 large and several small Drupal sites in versions 7, 8 and 9. I have also recently taken an intensive course to shore up my knowledge of Drupal 8. Led by a Drupal Grandmaster and former Acquia engineer, this rigorous course taught me common usages and Drupal 8 best practices for the following technae: Composer, Drush, Drupal Console, Git commands & workflows, SASS, Twig, custom module development and how to work within a remote development environment. I feel that my deep experience with the Drupal platform is my strongest asset, however, I have also worked with just about every web related technology in existence and many other content management systems.

SQL vs. MySQL: Which Relational Database is Right for You?

Structured query language (SQL) is the language of relational databases. Several database platforms use SQL, but a slight variation on itโ€”each tends to have a slightly different syntax. Microsoft SQL and MySQL are two of the most common database platforms on the web. Once you go with one, it can be very difficult to switch to the other. Thatโ€™s because the database platform you choose will end up being the core of your dynamic content moving forward. It stores, secures, and retrieves all the data for your applications.

Itโ€™s an important decision to make, and will likely hinge on a few things. If youโ€™re having a hard time deciding which one is right for your project, hereโ€™s a look at some similarities and differences between the two, SQL and MySQL.

The basics

Whether you want to store, retrieve or edit your dataโ€”the way dynamic websites and applications perform nearly every request a user makesโ€”SQL is the language of choice for relational databases. On the surface, both Microsoft and MySQL look similar:

  • They both give you the ability to host several databases on one server.
  • They use tables to store data.
  • They have primary and foreign key constraints.
  • They use indexes to sort data and speed up performance, and they both support desktop and web applications.

SQL Server is slightly older than MySQL. Microsoft SQL Server was introduced in 1989 and MySQL was introduced in 1995 as an open-source project. Since both of them have been in production for years, they both have a firm foothold in the market. MySQL runs on either Windows or Linux, typically as a part of a LAMP environment. SQL Server runs on Windows and is usually a part of a Windows environment.

Both platforms handle small and large software projects, so you should anticipate similar performance from both, provided the database designer and programmer are familiar with the right way to optimize queries and code.

Microsoft SQL server vs. MySQL: similarities

Both Microsoft and MySQL are relational database platforms, so they have several similarities. Most developers specialize in either one or the other because although they appear similar, the way they work in the underlying architecture is very different. Here are some similarities, which make it somewhat easy for a database developer to work on both platforms efficiently, even if they specialize in only one.

  • Scalability: Both platforms allow you to scale as your business grows. You can use both for small projects, however, should these projects take off to an enterprise-level, they can still support millions of transactions a day.
  • High-performance: A database is your applicationโ€™s backbone. It stores all of your data, so you need a database that can return data in less than a second. Both platforms can handle this type of high-performance speed.
  • Tables: Both platforms use the standard relational database table model to store data in rows and columns.
  • Keys: Both platforms use primary and foreign keys to establish relationships between tables.
  • Syntax: Syntax between the two database platforms are similar, although there are some minor differences across different CRUD (create, read, update, delete) statements.
  • Web-based popularity: Aside from Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and MySQL are the most common databases used for web applications. When you sign up for hosting, you typically get a choice between MySQL databases or SQL Server.
  • Drivers: You can find connection drivers for almost any popular language on the web, so you can easily connect to both platforms without writing complex code.

Microsoft SQL server vs. MySQL: differences

While the two platforms are similar in the interface and basic relational database standards, they are two very different programs and operate differently. Most of the differences are in the way they operate in the background, and these differences are not seen by the average user. As long as the database performs well, it can be used with your project. However, itโ€™s still important to know these differences because theyโ€™ll play a huge role in your developerโ€™s choice platform.

  • Native compatibility: You can use either database with both Windows and Linux projects, but MySQL works natively with PHP and MSSQL is mainly used with .NET. It makes integration simpler if you stick with MySQL for PHP and MSSQL for Windows projects.
  • MyISAM and InnoDB: Both of these engines are configurations for MySQL and allow the developer to perform very different design and programming. With MSSQL, you create a database and donโ€™t specify different engines.
  • Cost: SQL Server is generally expensive to run because you need licenses for the server running the software. MySQL is free and open-source, but youโ€™ll pay for support if you need it.
  • LINQ: With MSSQL, you can set up your entity framework classes in .NET and get started with LINQ queries. With MySQL and .NET, you need to download third-party provider tools.
  • IDE tools: Both platforms have IDE tools, but you need the right tool with the right server. MSSQL uses Management Studio and MySQL has Enterprise Manager. These tools let you connect to the server and manage settings and configurations for security, architecture, and table design.

Which one should you use?

The database you use usually depends on the hosting environment you choose. Linux hosting providers usually offer MySQL. Since MySQL is open-source and free, you can have as many databases as you need. You can have 10 of them to support 10 different projects if need be.

Because SQL Server costs money for licenses, Windows hosts will give you one MSSQL database and you must pay for additional ones. Overall, this makes SQL Server more costly than MySQL. However, SQL Server works natively with .NET applications, so itโ€™s the choice for software that runs on a Windows server or desktop. The development tools are free, but the production environment is not free.

The best way to determine the right platform is to first post your project in the marketplace and discuss your requirements with a few developers. You will get different opinions and preferences based on the developerโ€™s area of expertise, but most Windows developers work with MSSQL and Linux developers work with MySQL. You should decide which environment you want to target, and then you can get a clearer idea of which platform is right for you.
