Streamline your data management process with the Microsoft SQL Server + Instagram Custom Audiences integration

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system, or RDBMS, that supports the impact of transaction operations, business intelligence and analytics in corporate IT environments. It is one of the three market-leading database technologies, along with Oracle Database and IBM DB2. Like another RDBMS software, Microsoft SQL Server is based on SQL, a database standardized programming database and querying the data they contain. SQL Server is linked to a Transact-SQL (T-SQL), a Microsoft SQL implementation that adds a series of programming extensions that are proprietary to the standard language.
