From early database management systems to modern data platforms like Microsoft Fabric, SQL has withstood the test of time. This language can be powerful in its navigation of data relationships, calculation of detailed or aggregate values, or adjustment of records stored in tables. All of these capabilities fall under the term Data Manipulation Language (DML). This language can enable many data practitioners, from technical engineers to citizen developers, to harness data in their database and bend it to their needs. From ad-hoc analytics, to application backends, to AI/ML implementations - SQL can help all of these use cases. Suppose you have not had the opportunity to learn SQL DML and would find use for your work. This introductory session to Microsoft's version of SQL, called Transact SQL or T-SQL, is a great place to start. Join this session to learn T-SQL DML from the ground up, starting with the SELECT statement and all of its primary clauses.
