Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS) developed by Microsoft. It stores, manages, secures, and retrieves structured data. SQL Server uses T-SQL (Transact-SQL), Microsoft's extension of standard SQL.

In ASP.NET Core applications, SQL Server is commonly used as the persistent database and is accessed through Entity Framework Core, ADO.NET, Dapper, or stored procedures.
