    If you want apt advice, you'll need to give far more information than just "a university portal".

    Re: MySQL vs MS SQL

    Agreed si,

    For example, what costs are you willing to spend? (If any)
    Are you looking for an enterprise solution?
    You working on Windows Server/UNIX?
    Are you using PHP?
    Do you know the size of the database/tables you will be using
    User base?
    Etc…

    Both have their advantages but we need to know more information off you to break down which one you should choose and why.
    If I've helped, please RATE my post.
