Structured Query Language

SQL is a standard language for querying, manipulating, and defining the structure of relational database management systems. It allows users to retrieve, insert, update, and delete data as well as create, modify, and delete databases. While SQL is an ANSI standard, vendors have added proprietary extensions. RDBMS systems like Oracle, MySQL, and Microsoft Access that serve as the basis for SQL and use tables with rows and columns to store relational data.

Note: Most of the SQL database programs also have their own proprietary extensions in addition to the SQL standard!
