SQL stands for Structured Query Language. It's a language that used to design relational database architects. In an SQL database like MySQL, Sybase, Oracle, or IBM DM2 - SQL executes queries, retrieves data, and edits data by updating, deleting, or creating new records. It's a lightweight, declarative language that does a lot of heavy lifting for the relational database, acting as a database’s version of a server-side script. #SQL #datascience #database #databasejoin
