Microsoft SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server

Microsoft® SQL Server™  (herein abbreviated as MS SQL Server) is a database management and analysis system for e-commerce, line-of-business, and data warehousing solutions.

Note

The on-premise DataSight software offering does not include Microsoft SQL Server.  MS SQL Server Express Edition is available for free, but to a limited database size of 10GB.

DataSight relies on MS SQL Server to host all databases. DataSight can be configured to interface with the free version of MS SQL Server Express as a standalone database on a single computer. MS SQL Server Express is available in 32-bit and 64-bit editions and is an entry-level, free database that is ideal for learning and building desktop and small server data-driven applications of up to 10 GB. The free download of MS SQL Server Express requires a Microsoft account.

All instances of MS SQL Server are the responsibility of the client to install and manage as per their organisation's guidelines. Please ensure that the licensing of all MS SQL Server installations are appropriate to your usage.
