SQL (Structured Query Language)

Description:
SQL (Structured Query Language) is a domain-specific programming language designed for
managing and manipulating relational databases. It enables users to create, modify, query, and
control data stored in relational database management systems (RDBMS) like MySQL,
PostgreSQL, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server.

Key Features:

1. Data Definition Language (DDL): Commands like CREATE, ALTER, and DROP define
database schemas (tables, indexes).
2. Data Manipulation Language (DML): Commands like SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and
DELETE interact with data.
3. Data Control Language (DCL): Manages permissions using GRANT and REVOKE.
4. Query Optimization: Efficiently retrieves data using joins, subqueries, and filtering.
5. ACID Compliance: Ensures transactional reliability (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation,
Durability).
Importance:

• Standardization: SQL is widely adopted, making it portable across systems.


• Scalability: Handles large datasets and complex operations.
• Security: Role-based access control protects sensitive data.
Use Cases:

• Generating reports from sales databases.


• Managing user authentication systems.
• Integrating with applications via APIs.
