Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS), that supports a wide variety of transaction processing, business intelligence and analytics applications in corporate IT environments.
SQL stands for Structured Query
Language. SQL is used to communicate with a database. According to ANSI
(American National Standards Institute), it is the standard language for
relational database management systems. SQL statements are used to perform tasks
such as update data on a database, or retrieve data from a database. Some
common relational database management systems that use SQL are: Oracle, Sybase,
Microsoft SQL Server, Access, Ingres, etc. Although most database systems use
SQL, most of them also have their own additional proprietary extensions that
are usually only used on their system. However, the standard SQL commands such
as "Select", "Insert", "Update",
"Delete", "Create", and "Drop" can be used to
accomplish almost everything that one needs to do with a database.
