Structured Query Language
SQL (Structured Query Language) is a standard interactive and programming
language for getting information from and updating a database. Although SQL
is both an American National Standards Institute and an International
Organization for Standardization standard, many database products support
SQL with proprietary extensions to the standard language. Queries take the
form of a command language that lets you select, insert, update, find out
the location of data, and so forth. There is also a programming interface.
