As a Senior Technical Recruiter who focuses on database roles, part of my job is to make sure I know what is happening in the IT world. I found the below article released by the Vice President at Microsoft, and it got me thinking of what is currently happening with the data and databases in today’s market. As we all know, data is the driving factor in which we are able to make databases run more effectively and efficiently. When I am talking with candidates, they all have amazing stories to tell on how they were able to take massive amounts of data and create organized databases as well as data warehouses. Most recently, as I was reading up on database information, I was reminded again that the three top players right now in the relational database world are MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle. I would like to share this article with everyone that might be interested in what the Microsoft SQL Server 2016 can offer in this market. Enjoy the read! https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2016/03/10/sql-server-2016-the-database-for-mission-critical-intelligence/ Robyn Wolf - Senior Technical Recruiter
