This article gives the basics about how to find and use the Microsoft Transact-SQL (T-SQL)
reference articles. T-SQL is central to using Microsoft SQL products and services. All tools and
applications that communicate with a SQL Server database do so by sending T-SQL commands.
For detailed technical documents about how certain standards are implemented in SQL Server,
see the
Microsoft SQL Server Standards Support documentation.
Some of the Microsoft tools that issue T-SQL commands are:
Management Studio (SSMS)
MSSQL extension for Visual Studio Code
Data Tools (SSDT)
sqlcmd
To find T-SQL articles, use search at the top right of this page, or use the table of contents on
the left side of the page. You can also type a T-SQL key word in the Management Studio Query
Editor window, and press F1.
SELECT
INSERT
UPDATE
DELETE
