Data Definition Language (DDL)

Data Definition Language (DDL) is a set of commands used in databases to define and manage the structure of data. It includes commands like CREATE, ALTER, and DROP, which help create new tables, modify existing ones, or delete them. Think of DDL as the toolkit for setting up and organizing the blueprint of a database, specifying what data is stored, how it’s organized, and how the database itself is built. It doesn’t handle the actual data content but focuses on the framework that holds and manages the data.
