What is SQL?
● SQL is a programming language for storing and processing information in a relational
database.

● A relational database stores information in table form, with rows and columns
representing different data attributes and the various relationships between the data
values.

● You can use SQL statements to store, update, remove, search, and retrieve
information from the database.

● You can also use SQL to maintain and optimize database performance.

Why is SQL important?


● SQL is a popular query language that is frequently used in all types of applications.

● Data analysts and developers learn and use SQL because it integrates well with different
programming languages.

● For example, they can embed SQL queries with the Java programming language to build
high-performing data processing applications with major SQL database systems such as
Oracle or MS SQL Server.

● SQL is also fairly easy to learn as it uses common English keywords in its statements

History of SQL
● SQL was invented in the 1970s based on the relational data model.

● It was initially known as the structured English query language (SEQUEL).

● The term was later shortened to SQL.

● Oracle, formerly known as Relational Software, became the first vendor to offer a
commercial SQL relational database management system.
