Microsoft SQL Server is a proprietary relational database management system developed by Microsoft using Structured Query Language. As a database server, its primary function is to store and retrieve data requested by other software applications, which may run on the same computer or across a network. Microsoft markets at least a dozen different editions of SQL Server, aimed at different audiences and workloads ranging from small single-machine applications to large Internet-facing applications with many concurrent users.
