This blog will compare and contrast SQL and Python, two popular programming languages for data-related work. We will discuss the similarities and differences between the two languages, as well as their strengths and weaknesses. This will help you choose the best language for your specific needs....
Many developers will likely use SQL and ORM at different times. That’s because there are instances when one is clearly the more appropriate option. However, it’s too short-sighted to say that one is the best choice in all cases. With that in mind, developers should think about factors ...
Even complex logic in T-SQL is rather easy to read and understand What are the differences between T-SQL and other languages? Every language has its advantages all right, but what about the characteristics that make Transact-SQL different from other SQL-based languages and database systems? Let...
SQL Server built-in functions are either deterministic or nondeterministic. Functions are deterministic when they always return the same result anytime they're called by using a specific set of input values. Functions are nondeterministic when they could return different results every time they're ...
While NoSQL has quickly been adopted, it has smaller user communities and, therefore, less support. NoSQL users do benefit from open-source systems, as opposed to the many SQL languages that are proprietary. Examples of NoSQL databases
What are different programming languages used for? As we’ve discovered, different programming languages are used for the various functions that computers can perform. But let’s get more specific. First, let’s look at a slight distinction between the types we’re going to look at. The maj...

SQL Server 2022 (16.x) builds on previous releases to grow SQL Server as a platform that gives you choices of development languages, data types, on-premises or cloud environments, and operating systems.The following video introduces SQL Server 2022 (16.x)....
In the advanced case of database tables that are split up into different volumes depending on the value of the primary key, called horizontal sharding, you also have to consider how the primary key will affect the sharding. Hint: You want the table distributed evenly across volumes, which sug...
databases have tables that contain fields, constraints, and triggers, and tables are related through foreign keys. SQL is used to declare the data to be returned, and a SQL query processor and query optimizer turn the SQL declaration into a query plan that is executed by the database engine...
