For the 1,000,000th time: you have servers (VMs, physical) that run instances of SQL Server. SQL is not a product. It's a language. You DO NOT HAVE SQL SERVERS FFS

@SQLHA Well, "servers upon which I have installed Microsoft sql server" is a bit much.

@SQLHA Servers serving SQL Server.

@SQLHA SQL server servers? Exchange server servers? Sharepoint server servers? 🤔

@SQLHA And here I thought SQL was a database application. #LearnNewEveryDay

@SQLHA You don't "Google" with Google either, you search with it, but it's become a standardised term, just like the fact that we run SQL Server's.

@SQLHA It's days like this you question if this job is worth it.

@SQLHA what about calling it MSSQL Server? 😅

@SQLHA But it’s just like Access isn’t it? Had one call for access to the db server. Then to find out they wanted MS Access installed on the server. Arguhhhh

@SQLHA I see the context you are coming from. I had the unfortunate time of having to accep a “manger” treated Exchange server and SQL server teams differently because SQL server was in his eyes a hardware device. 🤬

@SQLHA @geo_walters This is one of the times case matters. SQL Server = no. SQL server = okay.

@SQLHA not according to azure.
