SQL:
- SQL stands for “Structured Query Language”.
- The current version of SQL is “ANSI SQL – 92”.
- It contains constructs which are used to define and process
database . They are executed using DBMS-supplied command prompt. - SQL is not a
programming language. It is text-based and it is also called as data sublanguage. In order to get SQL as a complete programming language, it should be included in scripting languages like Java, C#, and so on.
