DBMS Assignment-2
DDL (Data Defini on Language)
Data Defini on Language (DDL) is a set of SQL commands that help define the structure of a
database. Think of it as the blueprint for how data is stored and organized. DDL commands are used
to create, modify, and delete the structure of database objects like tables, indexes, and views. These
commands shape the database's architecture but don't deal with the actual data within. Typically,
general users don't use DDL commands directly; they interact with the database through an
applica on that handles these technical details for them.

List of DDL Commands


1. CREATE
2. DROP
3. ALTER
4. TRUNCATE

DML(Data Manipula on Language)


Data Manipula on Language (DML) commands in SQL are used to manipulate the data within the
database. These commands include the most commonly used SQL statements for tasks like adding,
upda ng, and dele ng data.

On the other hand, Data Control Language (DCL) commands manage access to the data and the
database itself. Although DCL commands are o en discussed alongside DML commands, they serve a
dis nct purpose: they control who can do what with the data.

In simpler terms, while DML commands are like the tools you use to work with the data in your
database, DCL commands are like the security se ngs that ensure only the right people have access
to those tools.

2. INSERT
3. UPDATE
