Azure may look like shit at the beginning, but given enough time to experience it you understand that you were right all along, it is actual shit

Haha. It's the only major player I have no actual experience with, and I really should close that gap if clients insist on hiring me as cloud solutions architect 😆

@CoreFusionX think of it as AWS from Wix

I'm no fan of Microsoft at all.

Whenever I come in contact with MS products, it starts with a bad feeling. Then some cringy thing happens... then shit is raining down.

SQL server is the kind of thing that says: I was born in darkness. I was molded into shit. I overcame the shit to become the shit stain in your pants!

NOW I WILL MAKE YOU CRAP YOURSELF.

(sorry, SQL server was a very special traumatic experience).

🤘🤘🤘 Yes, absolutely agreed with this. Azure is like that annoying waiter who will ask you 100 questions for a fucking glass of water and end up saying sorry we dont have that available right now.

@IntrusionCM what version was that? I used it for a bit and it was ok. That said I’ve never used Postgres so maybe I’m used to eating shit.

nah. shit is actually useful as fertilizer.

azure is just there to torture souls.

@ars1 necro bump.

I had many *different* Clients using SQL server.

The UI (dunno what it is called) is ... Localized.

Try using it in German... Its not fun.

The next thing that I really dislike is how windows centric it usually is...

It has gotten better, but still ...

Windows for Server is like chopping your dick off and pretending to be a sexaholic - it just doesn't make sense.

Last but not least... Interestingly - no client neither their products had any good database design.

Nothing "directly" related to MS SQL Server... But given the UI and the programs and the price for the *programs* ... Its kinda a self fulfilling prophecy.

I had a lot of trauma regarding the database design I've seen with SQL server - especially with high priced software.

Tables with 250 + columns?

Yup.

Index size making up 90 % of storage, cause completely wrong and overdone like a steak cooked to charcoal?

Yup.

I could go on, but my stomach is already giving me reflux.
