MS SQL Server or simply SQL Server is RDBMS developed by Microsoft Corp. SQL Server uses a dialect of SQL called Transact-SQL (T-SQL). The SQL Server versions prior 7 were based on Sybase SQL Server, but starting with SQL Server 7.0 Microsoft redeveloped the database engine and SQL Server 7 became the first database server using GUI (graphic user interface). SQL Server supports stored procedures, transactions, replication, database mirroring and clustering.

SQL Server 2005 is deeply integrated in the .NET framework and software and web developers can write stored procedures for SQL Server 2005 directly from their .NET code (C#, VB.NET, etc.). SQL Server 2005 has the following editions:
* SQL Server Enterprise Edition
