Hi! Before diving into T-SQL, make sure to check our post on What is MSSQL? for a comprehensive overview. In this tutorial, we'll explore the essence of T-SQL, MS-SQL, and SSMS.

A database is an organized collection of data, stored and accessed through a software system designed for efficient and secure data management. Databases handle large amounts of data, such as customer information and inventory.
Relational databases are widely used in business and other applications, organizing and analyzing data in a structured manner. They leverage SQL (Structured Query Language) for easy data manipulation.
RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) is software managing data in relational databases. Examples include SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, and SQLite.
T-SQL (Transact-SQL) is a procedural language for managing and manipulating data in Microsoft SQL Server. Extending standard SQL with features like variables and error handling, T-SQL is used to create and modify database objects and manipulate stored data.

MS-SQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS) designed for storing, managing, and retrieving data in various applications and services.
SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) is an integrated development environment used to manage and administer Microsoft SQL Server. Download it from below link.

T-SQL enhances database management in Microsoft SQL Server and Azure SQL, introducing features like variables, functions, and mathematical operations.
T-SQL examples are statements used in Transact-SQL to interact with databases. For instance, SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE are common examples.
T-SQL stands for Transact-SQL, which is the language used to interact with Microsoft SQL Server databases.
T-SQL is also known as Transact-SQL, and it's a Microsoft-developed extension of SQL (Structured Query Language) used for managing and querying relational databases.
