DML (Data Manipulation Language) : SELECT - Select Records From A Table INSERT - Insert New Records

SQL language consists of four primary statement types: DML, DDL, DCL, and TCL. DML statements manipulate data within tables through operations like select, insert, update, and delete. DDL statements define and modify database schema through operations like create, alter, and drop. DCL statements control user access permissions using grant and revoke. Finally, TCL statements manage transactions to maintain data integrity with begin, commit, and rollback operations.

SQL language is divided into four types of primary language statements: DML, DDL, DCL

and TCL. Using these statements, we can define the structure of a database by creating
and altering database objects and we can manipulate data in a table through updates
or deletions. We also can control which user can read/write data or manage transactions
to create a single unit of work.
The four main categories of SQL statements are as follows:
1. DML (Data Manipulation Language)
2. DDL (Data Definition Language)
3. DCL (Data Control Language)
4. TCL (Transaction Control Language)

DML (Data Manipulation Language)


DML statements affect records in a table. These are basic operations we perform on
data such as selecting a few records from a table, inserting new records, deleting
unnecessary records, and updating/modifying existing records.
DML statements include the following:
SELECT select records from a table
INSERT insert new records

UPDATE update/Modify existing records


DELETE delete existing records

DDL (Data Definition Language)


DDL statements are used to alter/modify a database or table structure and schema.
These statements handle the design and storage of database objects.
CREATE create a new Table, database, schema
ALTER alter existing table, column description
DROP delete existing objects from database

DCL (Data Control Language)


DCL statements control the level of access that users have on database objects.
GRANT allows users to read/write on certain database objects
REVOKE keeps users from read/write permission on database objects

TCL (Transaction Control Language)


TCL statements allow you to control and manage transactions to maintain the integrity
of data within SQL statements.
BEGIN Transaction opens a transaction
COMMIT Transaction commits a transaction
ROLLBACK Transaction ROLLBACK a transaction in case of any error
