DCL (Data Control Language)

Data Control Language (DCL) is a subset of SQL (Structured Query Language) used to manage permissions and access to data within a database. In simple terms, DCL commands help database administrators control who can view or modify the data. The most common DCL commands are "GRANT," which gives specific privileges to users, and "REVOKE," which removes those privileges. By using DCL, organizations can ensure that sensitive data is protected and that users only have the access necessary for their roles, maintaining data security and integrity.
