Learning SQL querying has improved my data analysis skills but database size limits remain challenging
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The best feature SQL Server 2014 Express offers is the fact that it is free. Another valuable feature is that it is very express and quite similar to other solutions that are very expensive. SQL Server 2014 Express has positively impacted my organization by improving my knowledge in SQL coding and making my work faster. It is faster because I could improve my skills in coding in SQL for free.

SQL Server 2014 Express can be improved by increasing the maximum 10 gigabytes for a database, as it would be better if this limit were increased.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using SQL Server 2014 Express for a few months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In my experience, SQL Server 2014 Express is almost stable. It is almost stable because in my job I use the expensive versions; however, if I have to learn, I would prefer the free option that this one is.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
SQL Server 2014 Express's scalability for my needs is very easy.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before SQL Server 2014 Express, I used Databricks SQL and PostgreSQL, but they are expensive, while SQL Server 2014 Express is free.

I have definitely seen a return on investment because of the time saved, as I could learn more about SQL code and now I am faster in my job.
What other advice do I have?
The advice I would give to others looking into using SQL Server 2014 Express is to be careful about the size of the database. I would rate this product a 7.
