About Transact-sql
Transact-SQL was developed by Microsoft and Sybase in the late 1980s as an extension of SQL. It was created to enhance SQL's capabilities by adding procedural programming features, allowing for more complex database management and manipulation tasks.
Strengths of Transact-SQL include robust integration with Microsoft SQL Server, strong procedural capabilities, and extensive support for complex queries. Weaknesses include platform dependency on Microsoft environments and potential performance issues with very large datasets. Competitors include PL/SQL (Oracle), MySQL, PostgreSQL, and IBM Db2.
