SQL Server vs AWS Aurora MySQL
Comparison between SQL Server Vs AWS Aurora MySQL. Has been compared only with enterprise grade features as described below.
Feature
Description
Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)
Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) encrypts the data within the physical files of the database, the 'data at rest'. Without the original encryption certificate and master key, the data cannot be read when the drive is accessed or the physical media is stolen
Column Level Encryption
Column level encryption is a type of database encryption method that allows user to select specific information or attributes to be encrypted instead of encrypting the entire database file.
Master Slave Replica
As the master-slave replication is a one-way replication (from master to slave), only the master database is used for the write operations, while read operations may be spread on multiple slave databases.
Certificate based encryption
Using SSL certificate for encryption
Filtering with multiple database
If we have two or more database, we want to run a query across the database it is possible in MsSQL, but in Aurora MySQL it is not possible.
Security - File Manipulation
MySQL enables developers to manipulate database files through binaries while running. It even allows the database files to be accessed and manipulated by other processes at runtime. But SQL Server does not allow any process to access or manipulate its database files or binaries. the hackers lack the option to access or manipulate data directly. The design rule makes MS SQL Server more secure than MySQL.
