why most win web hosting provide more MySQL DB than MsSQL DB?

I check many hosting services.

Why for the windows DB, most of them are willing to provide more MySQL DB than MsSQL DB?

for example : a sharing windows account can provide 10 MySQL DB but why only 1 MsSQL DB.

regards,

 

Cuz SQL Server is extremly expensive unlike the mySQL which is open-source.

 

Thank you.

Another Question:
MySQL DB and MsSQL DB which one is more powerful?

regards,

 

Well MSSQL is better, but way more expensive than mysql. In addition mssql is more advanced with views, triggers, procedures and many other things. Well i read that MySQL v5.0 supports the SP's as well so it's only matter of time when mysql will be at least as good as MSSQL.

 

thank you again.

Recently I set up only one table in a MSsql DB which the table is included one ( "ntext" ) data type.

I do not know why I can only collect around 2,890 records data.

Can a Mysql table do large storage than a MSsql table?
That is one thing I considered which one is has more powerful storage size?

regards,

 

The number of records is only limited by how much space the web host has provided for your database

 

thank you,

now I understand the question.
