SQL Server Agent

SQL Server Agent is a tool within Microsoft SQL Server that automates routine database tasks. It schedules and manages jobs like backups, data processing, and maintenance activities, ensuring they run automatically at specified times or in response to certain events. This helps database administrators keep systems running smoothly without manual intervention, improving reliability and efficiency. Think of it as a personal assistant for databases, handling repetitive tasks consistently and on time, so users can focus on more complex or strategic work.
