T-SQL (Transact-SQL)

Transact-SQL (T-SQL) is an extension of SQL (Structured Query Language) used primarily with Microsoft SQL Server. It allows users to interact with databases by writing commands to retrieve, manipulate, and manage data. T-SQL enhances standard SQL with additional features like procedural programming, error handling, and built-in functions, making it more powerful for complex data operations. Essentially, T-SQL helps businesses handle their data effectively, enabling query execution, data updates, and the creation of automated tasks within a relational database environment.
