Sql Introduction
SQL tutorial gives unique learning on Structured Query Language and it
helps to make practice on SQL commands which provides immediate results.
SQL is a language of database, it includes database creation, deletion, fetching

Informix, postgres and SQL Server use SQL as standard database language.
Also, they are using different dialects, such as:
 MS SQL Server using T-SQL,
 Oracle using PL/SQL,
 MS Access version of SQL is called JET SQL (native format) etc.

Why SQL?
 Allows users to access data in relational database management systems.
 Allows users to describe the data.
 Allows users to define the data in database and manipulate that data.
 Allows to embed within other languages using SQL modules, libraries &
pre-compilers.
 Allows users to create and drop databases and tables.
 Allows users to create view, stored procedure, functions in a database.

 Allows users to set permissions on tables, procedures and views.

SQL Process:
 When you are executing an SQL command for any RDBMS, the system
determines the best way to carry out your request and SQL engine
figures out how to interpret the task.
 There are various components included in the process. These
components are Query Dispatcher, Optimization Engines, Classic Query

Engine and SQL Query Engine, etc. Classic query engine handles all
non-SQL queries, but SQL query engine won't handle logical files.
