SQL Server: security concerns

[PLCnewbie18]

Hello to all

Have any of you had problems with your place of work opposing your installing SQL? I know, for example, that TIA relies on SQL--has anyone had their managers nix bringing in software that requires SQL?

Hope this isn't too oddball a question...

We were challenged because it was not a corporate standard ... their standard was Oracle.

But now, it isn't too bad. We can get it installed pretty easily. Nice because there is a lot of software based or using SQL only.
