    I just downloaded MySQL workbench for the first time and it seems pretty easy to work with, noob friendly. I used Microsoft management studio in a college course and didn't seem to have any of these easy features. So my questions are simple..

    Which do you use MySQL workbench or MS SQL management? and why?

    Which one do employers usually use or request you to use?

    Thanks!

    MySQL workbench is used to manage MySQL DBs and MS SQL management is used to interact with MS SQL Server. MySQL and MSSQL server are two different database servers.

    Well, in my college course we used MS server management studio to work on the schools servers yea. But Couldn't it be used to access and manage a web server too?

    MS SQL Server.........................Management Studio is for managing MS SQL Server, whilst you can connect to other dbs through odbc etc it isnt what it is intended for.

    If your looking for a cross RDMS platform then you may want to have a look at the likes of Toad but it all depends if you want to be able to deal with elements such as SSIS and SSRS or just a basic database.
