Microsoft SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server (often called MSSQL) is typically Canary's relational database system of choice. Used for recording and querying structured information, Microsoft SQL Server provides very high levels of security, reliability, and scalability as well as ease of management.

Canary makes extensive use of Microsoft's database platform in a whole range of projects, and the team has the experience to ensure that your database runs smoothly and efficiently.

By harnessing the full potential of a database, Canary creates rich applications with highly customisable content. Content from your database is displayed seamlessly in custom-built web or desktop applications, where manipulating and visualising data is a breeze.

Alternative, open-source database managements systems are also available, and Canary also works with PostgreSQL and MySQL as well as NoSQL platforms – but our underlying preference remains with SQL Server – especially now it also offers Linux versions and unpaid licensing for most small installations.
