Tutorial: Write Transact-SQL statements

Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure Synapse Analytics Analytics Platform System (PDW)

Note

The Get Started Querying with Transact-SQL learning path provides more in-depth content, along with practical examples.

Welcome to the Writing Transact-SQL Statements tutorial. This tutorial is intended for users who are new to writing SQL statements. It helps new users get started by reviewing some basic statements for creating tables and inserting data. This tutorial uses Transact-SQL, the Microsoft implementation of the SQL standard.

This tutorial is intended as a brief introduction to the Transact-SQL language and not as a replacement for a Transact-SQL class. The statements in this tutorial are intentionally simple, and aren't meant to represent the complexity found in a typical production database.

Note

If you are a beginner you might find it easier to use SQL Server Management Studio instead of writing Transact-SQL statements.

Find more information

To find more information about any specific statement, either search for the statement by name, or use the contents to browse the language elements listed alphabetically under Transact-SQL Reference (Database Engine). Another good strategy for finding information is to search for key words that are related to the subject matter you are interested in. For example, if you want to know how to return a part of a date (such as the month), search the index for dates [SQL Server], and then select dateparts. This takes you to the article DATEPART (Transact-SQL). As another example, to find out how to work with strings, search for string functions. This takes you to the article String Functions (Transact-SQL).
