Introduction To MySQL & SQL QUERIES

As is my intention to share my software development journey gradually, I'll begin with a #sql tutorial right here on my profile.

You can use the hash tag #sqlWithDevOlatunji to search for my posts on SQL on all platforms.

So, I'll begin with what SQL - Structured Query Language - is.

What's SQL?

This is a querying language - it's not regarded as a programming language - that is used to manage or manipulate databases such as storing, retrieving, deleting or updating data stored in the database.

SQL is so important that is used whenever there's need to store or retrieve data digitally.

It is used by data analysts, software developers, web developers and you can keep naming tech professionals that make use of of.

In my coming posts or series, I'll be expounding more into the use of SQL in our world today. I'll also share example codes, how to install etc.

By following this series religiously, you should have had a deep knowledge of the language by the end of one month.

In the coming months, I'll share with us what other languages I'll be posting about.

Please, if there's anything you don't understand, you can always ask in the comment section of the post from which your question arises from.

I hope this year is the most fruitful year you've ever had.

More happiness to all my fellow devs.

By the way, it's you right to hold me accountable to this task. Do well to tag me whenever you feel I ain't giving enough energy to this. Plus, whether I see reactions or not, I'm still going to do it anyways.
