SQL Language

SQL, or Structured Query Language, is a standardized programming language designed for managing and manipulating databases. It allows users to create, read, update, and delete data stored in a relational database. Think of it as a way to communicate with a data storage system to retrieve needed information or modify existing data. SQL uses commands like SELECT (to retrieve data), INSERT (to add new data), UPDATE (to change existing data), and DELETE (to remove data), enabling efficient interaction with complex datasets. Its versatility makes it essential for data analysis and application development.
