What exactly is SQL?

    SQL (pronounced "ess-cue-el") stands for Structured Query Language. SQL is a language that is used to interact with databases. It is the basic language for relational database management systems, according to ANSI (American National Standards Institute). SQL statements are used to do things like update data on a database or extract data from a database.



SQL Partitions The SQL language is divided into three parts:

  • DML is used to retrieve and edit data in a table, such as inserting, deleting, and updating records. On the other hand, Select becomes a special declaration in this subset despite being a read-only instruction that does not modify data at all.
  • DCL is used to manage access to data in a network, such as granting or robbing other users' privileges to execute specific tasks.

  • DDL is used to describe data structures, such as creating, altering, or deleting tables.
  • TCL commands, or transaction management language commands, deal with database transactions.



Advantages of SQL

  • Rapidity

The SQL queries enable the user to easily and effectively access a large number of records from a database.
  • No coding is required.
It is very easy to handle the database system in regular SQL. The database system would not necessitate a large volume of programming to handle.
  • Standards that are well established
SQL databases, which are widely used by ISO and ANSI, have a long history of use.
