[comp.databases] SQL servers

Is anyone using an SQL Server, particularly the Microsoft LAN Manager and SQL  
Server?

From what I understand, an SQL server is a system that provides an interface  
between the user's workstation (client) and various databases on the LAN  
(server).  This is done through Transaction Processing, where the workstation  
queries the SQL server system on the LAN for data, rather than access the  
data directly as a file.

All I currently know about it is from a Microsoft flyer, linking to OS/2 on a  
286 file server.

If anyone is currently using it, could you discuss the advantages and  
disadvantages?  Thank you.

Does anyone know where I can find a description and specification for
SQL servers?

Thanks.
