I don't give a fuck what name you want to attach too it. We called it Microsoft SQL and it can do exactly what I said it can do, but in comparison to TOAD it was a piece of shit so we basically shit canned it and used the good stuff.
You seem to be confused.
SQL by itself does nothing but help tag and organize data. Tools (like TOAD) can then be used to make sense of that Data. The situation or use-case will determine the value of the tool used to make sense of the SQL managed Data points.
Speaking for all the non computer literate people like me on here right now trying get a general idea of what this is about ... thank you. LOL
Stick with vendor software. 3rd party is a PITA.
TOAD doesn't exist without SQL.
SQL is the code that TOAD reads and interprets in order to be useful...
VP of Technology here. Endgame-now is correct. The SQL tool that Oblakhan is referring to used to be called SQL Server Query Analyzer. SQL Server Management Studio is the admin tool. Query Analyzer can do a subset of what SSMS can do.
TOAD is very similar to Query Analyzer, but is more often used by the Oracle community.
I would guess what was found on the voting machine was not an instance of SQL Server itself. But we'll have to wait and find out.
Well dude, I worked as a data quality expert for ten plus years with databases. I think you would are just trying to piss on what CM found in on the machine and lead people away from what it can be used to do. So piss off.
endgame-now is correct.
I assume when you say Microsoft SQL you're referring to their database engine, Microsoft SQL Server. SQL, as endgame-now explained, is a Structured Query Language allowing us to easily query the underlying database. Not sure who first proposed SQL, but most databases allow you to use SQL to access them.
If you've been working as a data quality expert for 10+ years this should all sound familiar to you.
SQL is literally "Structured Query Language"
Are you sure you aren't misremembering it as Microsoft SQL when it would be MySQL or whatnot?
Using appeal to authority to double down on being blatantly wrong. I question what kind of "expert" doesn't understand the concept of an IDE.
