The Microsoft SQL is a Database Management System wherein its primary is to store

and retrieve data as and when requested by. Upon using this software, we can store
and organize material data, weld data, field change sheet, test package and other
construction management related data. Develops, implements, administers, and
maintains procedures for ensuring the security and integrity of the company databases.
Advantages of using Microsoft SQL are mentioned below.
Trouble-free Installation
It can be easily installed using a set up wizard and the necessary updates will be
automatically detected and downloaded by the installer. The complexity of installing the
software is significantly minimized due to automatic installation of important updates to
run the software on its peak performance
Security
MS SQL server is considered one of the most secure database servers with complex
encryption algorithms making it virtually impossible to crack the security layers enforced
by the user. MS SQL server is not an open-source database server which reduces the
risk of attacks on the database server. It also provides sensible security measures to
restrict access when necessary. Administrators can modify which users have access
and determine what level of authorization they are provided when accessing the data.
Data Restoration and Recovery Mechanism
MS SQL server is fully aware of the importance of the data stored and organized by the
construction companies using this software. Hence MS SQL Server contains many
sophisticated features that allow you to recover and restore the data which has been
lost or damaged. Although you cannot recover individual records but it is possible to
restore a complete database using some advanced recovery tools contained in the MS
SQL Server database.
Scalability
For construction companies, what matters most is that an SQL database can harness
large amounts of data as the business grows – up to a massive one terabyte in size.
One of the key reasons behind SQL Server’s performance is the use of cutting-edge
multicore processors, which can efficiently scale with minimal effect on performance.
This translates to seemingly limitless data management capabilities, even as the
business grows and makes increasing demands of its database.
In the construction industry, the ability to track historical performance data is invaluable.
The performance capabilities and scalability of Microsoft SQL Server means vast
amounts of data is always at users’ fingertips and at speeds that ensure steady,
predictable performance.
Reliability

Combining security with reliability is a feature of SQL Server, with impressive uptime
abilities to put end-users’ minds at ease that access is preserved – even in the event of
a system outage. If a crash or other outage occurs, SQL Server has automatic recovery
features that go into effect automatically, without the need for an administrator to
intervene. SQL Server will automatically launch database restoration to the last state of
consistency.

Data Analysis
Knowing that changes of the work environment is inevitable, construction project teams
are no longer in one location, or simply based in the home office. SQL Server combines
excellent reliability with the ability to extract data when and where needed, with on-
board reporting tools that support the design and modeling of charts and graphics for
rich, captivating presentations. Data can easily transfer into presentation modes or
Excel datasheet as front-end tool for displaying data and graph for progress monitoring,
allowing project managers to quickly compile relevant data points into formats suitable
for sharing with clients and partners.
