From my experience, MSSQL and MySQL potentially give you different results for the same SQL query. Or one gives you an empty set whereas the other throws an error. It comes down to what the interpretation of the required result is based on the perfectly fine SQL query. Whereas MySQL tends to be more to the SQL standard, MSSQL knows more SQL and SQLish dialects so that you can do more with less.

My point was that it doesn't come down to just good SQL.
