I am making a website in asp.net.
So my question is, which database is the best for my site.
ms sql server or mysql.
please explain why i should choose one for another.
no specific needs just want to know the cons and pros of mysql and ms sql
Well,
You're using .NET, so, if You use MS SQL Server You can have more features and facilities to implement things. You can have more tools, optmized environment, etc...
You need to evaluate some things:
- Your host have MS SQL Srvr databases? for same price?
- You can expend more to have it?
In my opinion, for .NET, MS SQL is the first choice...

We are trying identifying an alternative for MySQL
Since the Oracle takeover of Sun a commercial license is now needed for this product. We currently include the MySQL server, LIBMYSQL.DLL (C API) and JDBC driver (JAVA API) with our products.
We need to investigate alternatives that will not require commercial licensing. Options that we have:
Using an older version of MySQL pre-Oracle acquisition
PostgreSQL or MariaDB may be options
Any other options which satisfies our above requirements?
Can give us your suggestions?
To start from, how much is true that a commercial license is now required for MySQL? From the Oracle page it looks that next to commercial they also still have the GPL-licensed open source version.

I'm really impress by jsfiddle.net where we get to try out html/css/js right in front of us.
Does anyone know of a similar set of screens for sql where you could get to try out commands and build tables in a similar 'virtual' environment.
Of course I would like it to support all the different flavors too - mySQL, SQLserver, DB2, Oracle, Postgres, etc. And each of their various versions too please (yes I am smiling and really wishing here).
This might be one option that covers all the vendors, but you can't create your own tables etc.http://www.sqlzoo.net/h.htm
Another is http://sqlize.com/ which does let you create tables, though it is only mySQL.
You might try ideone. I haven't used it for SQL, but it's one of the listed options.

As i know about Both Sqlserver and Oracle are Database Systems.
1. In case of Sql server, we can work with multiple databases at once.
Is their any other difference between oracle and sql server.
Check out this comparison of databases, there are quite a few differences.
They both store data, but apart from that they are like chalk and cheese - they are massively different in a lot of ways.
Oracle can be used as a small database system, but is more aimed at the enterprise data storage level, whereas SQL Server is more commonly used at the lower end of the data storage market (although they also have a very good enterprise level product).
I suggest you just start with the Wikipedia entries, then if you have more specific questions come back and ask them.
Oracle
SQL Server
P.S. Even though I tendered an answer, I'm voting to close this as the question is way too broad in scope.

if you read some MVP's blog for watching out the difference then they always can talk SQL server because why they tell about Mysql whenever they itself not used My SQL server or itself not interested in Mysql. [you are amazed then they write everywhere that when someone talk them for opensource database then they answer MS SQL server express. ha ha [nice joke they make]
if you talk with someone who use MySQL then they difficult to answer because they not used MS SQL so tehy first not give answer or very hard to explain.
so i need to know about what the thing a have and another not. are their anyone can explain the pros and cons of using both type of database.
I would recommend reading
this (point of view SQL) to give you an
idea
2-Here
to view the other side (Mysql)
3- And finally some differences

What does SQL Server Express offer that MySQL do not?
PS: I'm comapring the two free Editions (MySQL and SQL Server Express)
Good article but highly geared towards MySQL
http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/move_from_microsoft_SQL_Server.html
Also a decent article but highly geared towards SQL Server
http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/product-info/competitor-compare.aspx
http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/compare-mysql.aspx
I am not a MySQL expert, but its capacity, features and performance are very much depending on the table type you select (InnoDB, MyIsam + others). It's like having different products under the same hood.
Your choice might also be impacted by the platform that will run the db: Sql Server will only run on Windows.
There are other free choices, like Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, DB2 and others.
