SQL Server Acronyms

I have titled this post SQL Server Acronyms, but I think several of these acronyms refer to SQL in general and not a specific implementation like Microsoft SQL Server.

I had a job interview recently and the interviewer quized me on some SQL Server acronyms.  I was not as prepared as I should've been.  I had heard several of them, but not committed them to memory.  I write the code and don't always remember the catch phrases.

I have created a list below.  Some the interviewer asked about and some I came across as I was researching the others.

• SRS/SSRS - SQL Reporting Services/SQL Server Reporting Services
• I have seen this referred to as SRS in some places and SSRS in others.
• It is a Microsoft reporting engine.
• It competes with Crystal Reports and other reporting technologies.
• The reports are defined with RDL - Report Definition Language.
• SSIS - SQL Server Integration Services
• Performs data migration tasks.
• SSB - SQL Server Service Broker
• Provides message queuing.
• DTS - Data Transformation Services
• Use to load, extract, and transform data in and out of a database.
• DML - Data Manipulation Language
• Things like Update, Insert, and Delete.
• DDL - Data Definition Language
• Things like Alter, Create, and Drop
• DCL - Data Control Language
• Things like Grant and Revoke statements
• TCL - Transactional Control Language
• Things like Commit and Rollback
• DQL - Data Query Language
• Some resources I have been reading say DQL is Select statements and others say Select is part of DML.
