SQL

What have I learned about SQL?

SQL stands for Structured Query Language. It is a computer language that is used to interact with relational databases, facilitating the organization, management, and retrieval of archived data. When the retrieval of data from a database is necessary, SQL is the language that formulates the request.

DBMS or Database Management System processes the SQL query, retrieves the specified data, and returns it.

I thought that this topic was interesting because the software in itself is interesting, to know that a programming language was created to specifically store and process information is what is intriguing to me. We covered SQL in class under Databases because it is important to learn the background information of this software.

I am not sure how SQL will impact me personally or my future, but I do know it will be impactful to society because technology will continually evolve.

Adobe with SQL

Adobe ColdFusion lets you create dynamic applications to access and modify data stored in a database. the output of Adobe tools, such as websites or multimedia content, might be powered by databases that use SQL for data management.

You do not need a lot of knowledge about databases to develop these types of applications. Adobe and SQL serve different purposes, they can be part of a larger ecosystem in software development where Adobe products are used for creative design and development, and SQL databases are used for data storage and management, especially in web development scenarios.

Adobe Experience Platform allows data to be ingested from external sources while providing you with the ability to structure, label, and enhance incoming data using Platform services.

You can ingest data from a variety of sources such as Adobe applications, cloud-based storage, databases, and many others. Experience Platform provides support for ingesting data from a third-party database.

Platform can connect to different types of databases such as relational, NoSQL, or data warehouses. Support for database providers include Microsoft SQL Server.Adobe products, such as Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop, are often used for designing user interfaces and graphics for websites and applications. You do need to know some basic database and SQL concepts and techniques.

Microsoft with SQL

Microsoft provides APIs to access SQL Server over the internet as web service.

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database managements system. Applications and tools connect to a SQL Server instance or database, and communicate using Transact-SQL. Microsoft and SQL are closely related in the context of database management and software development.

Microsoft SQL Server is designed to seamlessly integrate with other Microsoft technologies and products. It works well with Microsoft's development tools, such as Visual Studio, and is often used in conjunction with technologies like .NET for application development.

Microsoft's SQL Server supports data warehousing solutions, allowing organizations to store and analyze large volumes of data efficiently. The integration with Microsoft's broader ecosystem and the use of standard SQL make it a popular choice for database management in Microsoft-centric environments.

Intelligence and security are built into Microsoft's SQL Server. As a database server that stores and retrieves data as requested by other software applications on the same computer or a remote computer using the client-server model.

T-SQL is a database engine that is central to using Microsoft SQL products and services. All tools and applications that communicate with a SQL Server database do not do so by sending T-SQL commandds.
