The Important SQL


Lately I've been searching for a summer internship, and while looking, I've noticed that many companies like the intern to know about SQL. I didn't really know what it was so I decided to look it up. SQL stands for structured query language and it is a database computer language that is designed for management and retrieval of data in a database system. The functions that are included are retrieval, updating, insertion and deletion. The SQL is divided into many different sections such as the Call-Level Interface, Object Language Bindings, Information and Deifnition Schemas, and many more. Another set of key words are the Data Definition Language. The most important functions of the DDL are create, alter, rename, truncate, and drop. Using the SQL is very important when it come to managing and retrieving items and that is why many companies require it.
