Transact-SQL (T-SQL) is Microsoft’s powerful extension of SQL - a procedural superpower for managing and manipulating data in SQL Server environments.

About Transact-SQL

Transact-SQL, or T-SQL for short, is Microsoft’s own twist on the classic SQL language. Imagine SQL with everything extra: procedures, variables, error handling, and control flow constructs like IF, WHILE, and TRY...CATCH. It’s like giving SQL a toolbox and saying, “Do more, think bigger!”

T-SQL is at the heart of Microsoft SQL Server and Azure SQL Database. Whether you write a simple SELECT or build complex stored procedures, T-SQL is doing the work behind the scenes. It’s the language that makes the database dance to your tune.

If you work with Microsoft’s database solutions and want to take your data manipulation to the next level, T-SQL is your best friend. It’s not just a language - it’s a superpower for your data adventures.
