Any one know the SQLServer is written in which programming language C++ or C?

I know the rival DB Oracle is written in C programming language.

Thanks.

Its written in SQL

Seriously though, the UI may be C++ or something, however everything you do in the EM / MMC just generates SQL script that modifies the DB.

The UI is great when your starting out, although to be honest I prefer coding absolutely everything in query analyzer just to get my skills up.

Hi

This a great question which anyone should ask in my opinion :-), but almost no one do

I can tell that it is very easy to check using any Reverse engineering application :-)
I DO NOT SAY THAT YOU SHOULD DO IT!!!
, but someone did it :-)

As much as I know the answer is that you can see some C and C++ code, and there is C# use as well.

It's both C and C++

SSMS is written in .net (powered by Visual Studio) and uses T-SQL to communicate to SQL Engine.
