SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system developed by Microsoft . As a database, it is a software product whose primary function is to store and retrieve data as requested by other software applications, be it those on the same computer or those running on another computer across a network (including the Internet). There are at least a dozen different editions of Microsoft SQL Server aimed at different audiences and for different workloads (ranging from small applications that store and retrieve data on the same computer, to millions of users and computers that access huge amounts of data from the Internet at the same time).True to its name, Microsoft SQL Server's primary query languages are T-SQL and ANSI SQL.
