Structured Query Language (SQL) is a declarative language for defining, querying, and manipulating relational data. It standardizes operations such as SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and supports transactions, joins and aggregation. SQL underpins relational database systems and shapes data modeling, integrity constraints and performance considerations.

Structured Query Language (SQL) is a standardized declarative language for defining, querying, and changing relational data.
SQL emerged at IBM in the 1970s from Edgar F. Codd's relational model; Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce developed the early SEQUEL language. It was later standardized as SQL.
State the result set you need in a query and let the database plan its execution. Tables, joins, constraints, and transactions are the central building blocks.
At its core, this means: Structured Query Language (SQL) is a standardized declarative language for defining, querying, and changing relational data.
It works by: State the result set you need in a query and let the database plan its execution. Tables, joins, constraints, and transactions are the central building blocks.
SQL supports modelling, queries, and transactions. Decide on joins, indexes, transaction boundaries, and the required runtime.
SQL matters for data modelling, queries, and transactions in relational systems. Concrete decisions include joins, indexes, transaction boundaries, and the result set required within an acceptable runtime.
