ANSI/ISO SQL Standard

The ANSI/ISO SQL Standard is a set of guidelines that defines how to use Structured Query Language (SQL), which is the language used to interact with databases. This standard ensures that SQL commands work consistently across different database systems, allowing users to create, retrieve, update, and delete data reliably. By adhering to this standard, developers can write code that is more portable and maintainable, making it easier to share and implement database solutions across various platforms and applications. Essentially, it's a common framework for database communication to promote interoperability and efficiency.
