Database querying

Database querying is the process of requesting specific information from a structured data system, known as a database. Think of it like asking a well-organized digital filing cabinet to find particular records or data points, such as customer details or sales figures. Using a query language (like SQL), you specify what data you need and how to filter or sort it. The database then processes your request and returns the relevant information. This allows users to efficiently retrieve, update, or analyze large amounts of data without manually sift through all the records.
