Difference Between T-SQL and PL-SQL

The document outlines the differences between Transact SQL (T-SQL) and Procedural Language for SQL (PL/SQL). T-SQL, developed by Microsoft, is an extension of SQL for relational databases, while PL/SQL, created by Oracle, adds procedural capabilities to SQL. Key distinctions include their performance with respective database servers, control features, and syntax for data manipulation operations.

Difference between T-SQL and PL-SQL


Last Updated : 19 Dec, 2022

1. Transact SQL (T-SQL) : T-SQL is an abbreviation for Transact


Structure Query Language. It is a product by Microsoft and is an
extension of SQL Language which is used to interact with relational
databases. It is considered to perform best with Microsoft SQL servers.
T-SQL statements are used to perform the transactions to the
databases. T-SQL has huge importance since all the communications
with an instance of SQL server are done by sending Transact-SQL
statements to the server. Users can also define functions using T-SQL.
Types of T-SQL functions are :

Aggregate functions.
Ranking functions. There are different types of ranking functions.
Rowset function.
Scalar functions.

These additions bring T-SQL within the criteria of the Turing


completeness test. Thus Transact-SQL is a programming language. 2.
Procedural Language for SQL (PL/SQL) : PL/SQL stands for Procedural
Language for SQL. It is a procedural extension for SQL by Oracle
Corporation also for the Oracle relational database. It’s major
advantage is that it allows use of procedures, procedures are similar to
functions. The main highlights of PL/SQL are that it gives us the
functionality of iteration, decision making and many more features. The
smallest functional unit in PL/SQL is called a block. It can handle
exceptions (run-time errors). PL/SQL is an application language, which
is usually used to build, format and display the user screens, web pages
and reports, while SQL provides data for these applications. Difference
