Transact-SQL (T-SQL)

Transact-SQL (T-SQL) is an extension of standard SQL used primarily with Microsoft SQL Server. It enables users to write commands that manage, manipulate, and query databases effectively. T-SQL adds features like variables, error handling, and procedural logic, allowing for more complex and efficient data operations. Think of it as a specialized language that helps software communicate with and control a database system, making it possible to retrieve, update, and organize large amounts of information in a structured and reliable way.
