I'm in my last year in college and creating an application for a company is a major requirement for my diploma.
I will be using C# (MS Visual Studio) to create a transaction processing system with its own database. However, after doing some research, it seems that I'm still unable to decide which would be the better choice for the system I'm planning to create.
Some say MySQL has more advantages, some say SQL Server does a better job at handling data for businesses. I can't seem to find any consensus. I've only had experience with MS Access, and a bit with MySQL for Web programming.
What would you advise?
What I have tried:
