I need to read data on our data warehouse. I am lost - what is the difference between these two? I was told I don't need SQL server installed.

MySQL and SQL Server are two different data bases, so MySQL Workbench is the graphical management tool for MySQL and SQL Server Management Studio is the graphical management tool for SQL Server. Both let you interact with their respective database in an easy way.

23,287 PointsBasically yeah. If you have to decide which one to use, as far as I know, MySQL works better for mobile and PHP, and SQL Server works better for example: a company database, Microsoft Programs such as VB or ASP (I'm not sure though, that's what I've seen during the years)
