Hello, I've used both, and migrated most of my db's from MySQL to SQL Server. It's pretty simple I think.
What I did was purchase the developer edition of SQL Server. It's only $50, and it comes full blown! http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/development.asp Other than storied procedures and views, the main difference to me is security, permissions, etc. I currently use CrystalTech.com. They're ok with mySQL, but SQL Server kinda sucks because when you connect, it has to download ALLLLLLL the db info from the SQL Server you're logging into. That's hundreds of db's!
