SQL has the advantage of being the most commonly used language for relational database management systems. Because of this, both the data structures in Teradata Database and the commands for manipulating those structures are controlled using SQL. In addition, all applications, including those written in a client language with embedded SQL, macros, and ad hoc SQL queries, are written and executed using the same set of instructions and syntax.

Other database management systems use different languages for data definition and data manipulation and may not permit ad-hoc queries of the database. Teradata Database lets you use one language to define, query, and update your data.
