ISO SQL

ISO SQL (International Organization for Standardization Structured Query Language) is a universal language used to communicate with and manage databases. It standardizes how data is stored, retrieved, and manipulated across different systems, ensuring consistency and interoperability. Think of it as a common set of rules and commands—such as searching for data, updating records, or creating new tables—that work the same way regardless of the database software being used. This standardization helps developers and organizations avoid confusion and makes it easier to switch or work with different database systems.
