SQL (Structured Query Language)

Tags: [#SQL, #Database, #DataManagement]

SQL, or Structured Query Language, is a domain-specific language used for managing and manipulating relational databases. It allows users to perform tasks such as querying data, updating data, and creating database schemas. Developed initially in the 1970s, SQL has become the standard language for relational database management systems (RDBMS). It provides a robust set of capabilities including transaction control, data manipulation, and data definition, making it a vital skill for data analysts, data scientists, and backend developers.
