Transcript Using Drupal with IIS and MSSQLx

What is IIS?
 IIS (Internet Information Server) is a group of Internet servers
(including a Web or Hypertext Transfer Protocol server and a File
Transfer Protocol server) with additional capabilities for Microsoft's
Windows NT and Windows 2000 Server operating systems. IIS is
Microsoft's entry to compete in the Internet server market that is also
addressed by Apache, Sun Microsystems, O'Reilly, and others. With
IIS, Microsoft includes a set of programs for building and
administering Web sites, a search engine, and support for writing Webbased applications that access databases. Microsoft points out that IIS
is tightly integrated with the Windows NT and 2000 Servers in a
number of ways, resulting in faster Web page serving.
What is MSSQL?
 MS SQL is short for Microsoft SQL Server. It is a
relational web hosting database that is used to store
web site information like blog posts or user
information. MS SQL is the most popular type of
database on Windows servers. It is not free but it has
many advanced features that make it suitable for
businesses.
