[!INCLUDE sql-asdb-asdbmi-asa-pdw-fabricse-fabricdw-fabricsqldb]
Data Manipulation Language (DML) is a vocabulary used to retrieve and work with data in [!INCLUDEssnoversion] and SQL Database. Most also work in [!INCLUDEssazuresynapse-md] and [!INCLUDEssPDW] (review each individual statement for details). Use these statements to add, modify, query, or remove data from a [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] database.
The following table lists the DML statements that [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] uses.
:::row::: :::column::: BULK INSERT (Transact-SQL) :::column-end::: :::column::: SELECT (Transact-SQL) :::column-end::: :::row-end::: :::row::: :::column::: DELETE (Transact-SQL) :::column-end::: :::column::: UPDATE (Transact-SQL) :::column-end::: :::row-end::: :::row::: :::column::: INSERT (Transact-SQL) :::column-end::: :::column::: UPDATETEXT (Transact-SQL) :::column-end::: :::row-end::: :::row::: :::column::: MERGE (Transact-SQL) :::column-end::: :::column::: WRITETEXT (Transact-SQL) :::column-end::: :::row-end::: :::row::: :::column::: READTEXT (Transact-SQL) :::column-end::: :::column::: :::column-end::: :::row-end:::
