Overview

SQL Server is an application software for Relational Database Management System (RDBMS), from Microsoft, that can be used for creating, maintaining, managing, and implementing the RDBMS systems. It is an extensively used application as it enables multiple users simultaneously to work on the database systems, where users can range from minor office-based machines to huge Internet-based servers. Provisions any variety of SQL programming extending from ANSI SQL (for traditional SQL) through SQL to T-SQL (Transact-SQL) used for advanced relational databases.

It is the relational database management system developed by Microsoft back in 1988. It is actually a backend application that allows us to store and process data. In simple terms, it offers us a platform where we can update, change, and manage the data. It is called the relational database management system due to its nature to store the data in tables where the tables store the data about the same entity.

There are several plus points of using SQL server over other means of data storage.

• Data processing: It allows us to process the data stores in order to generate the desired output. The data could be computed using SQL server.
• High storage: We can store a large number of data in the SQL server. Due to its high storage capacity, it is considered best while data storing in organizations.
• Integration with front-end: It could also be integrated with the frontend application to offer the mechanism of dynamically data change. It is very frequently used in integration with web applications.
• Easy to connect with.Net: As SQL server and.Net framework both belong to Microsoft, both are very easy to be connected. It works very fine or smooth when merged with an application developed on .Net.
