SQL 7 server is a Microsoft product, intended to keep Bill Gates at the top of the rich list, and oh by the way is the server side of SQL.

maybe some examples, how it works in detail... I really dont need this, but my mom has an interview in a few days, and one of the requirements was SQL server, and she isn't really sure what it is. She knows SQL, but isn't sure if its the same thing, she just needs some details.

thanx

You can get SQL server and SQL client versions. Client can run on a PC server runs on a server and can be viewed by client installs. Generally will a job advertises for SQL and VB they mean, a server supported SQL i.e central database, rather than individual client dbs.

I could perhaps have been clearer above.

A SQL server....is based on the Client-Server principle.

The Client Sends a Query through a Network to the
Server. The Server Processes the Query and Works through the central Database retrieving whatever data that matches the Query.

Unlike a File Based database system like Access, a SQL server is a Live Database System designed to support several Concurrent Users.

Exactly what Active said. Basically if your mum knows SQL 7, then she knows SQL 7 server.
