Structured Query Language (SQL): Introduction

Examine this industry standard for data access

Structured Query Language (SQL) is a standard language that allows users to query data from databases, update information within databases, create and delete tables, rows and columns, and control access to data.  It is included in products other than databases, and many familiar programming languages are designed to work with embedded SQL. Many of these products support SQL with proprietary extensions, but all such products support a common subset of SQL. This course focuses on that common subset of SQL used by over 100 databases, languages and software applications.

Prerequisites: Database Concepts or equivalent knowledge
