Two of the most popular back-end data stores Web developers work with today are MySQL and SQL Server.
They are fundamentally similar in that both are data storage and
retrieval systems. You can use SQL to retrieve data with either because
both claim support for ANSI-SQL. Both database systems support primary
keys and key indices, so you can also create indices used simply to
speed up queries and for constraining input. Further, both provide some
form of XML support.
