SQL is a computer programming language designed to read, write, and maintain data contained within a relational database. It is the standard language for relational database management systems. SQL is considered a 4th generation programming language.
Initially created in the 1970s, SQL is regularly used not only by database administrators, but also by developers writing data integration scripts and data analysts looking to set up and run analytical queries.
SQL has been designed to query and extract data. One of its main strengths includes merging data from multiple tables within a database.
Data is an integral part of any modern-day app. All this information is stored in a database system and SQL is the language used to communicate with that data.
Most RDMS (Relational Database Management Systems) use SQL as their standard database language. Some common relational database management systems that use SQL are: Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Ingres, etc.
