Not exactly a recommendation for mission-critical use, is it?

 
Saying SQL Server is a poor choice for anything based on one story about
SQL 2000 is like saying you should never use a web browser because
Netscape 1.0 had its problems.  In the last 20+ years, Microsoft has
made massive investments in improving SQL Server's performance and
scalability, has ported it to Linux, and has added boatloads of new
features.

And yet the whole Windows Server thing is very definitely in its sunset
years -- at least the on-prem version. Did Microsoft’s reputation ever
recover from that screwup, especially after it made such a big, noisy deal
about winning such an important contract against a Linux alternative in
the first place? The “Highly Reliable Times” ad campaign, and all that
self-serving bullshit?

What was George C Scott’s line from “Dr Strangelove”:

    of a single slipup, sir.”

Remember what the slipup was ...
