SQL stands for Structured Query Language. SQL language is used to create, transform and retrieve information from relational database software. SQL is also pronounced as SEQUEL. SQL was developed during the early 1970’s at IBM. Most of the Relational Database Management Systems like MS SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Oracle, MySQL, DB2, Sybase, PostgreSQL and Informix use SQL as a database querying language. Even though both ISO and ANSI there are many SQL implementations, which do not fully, define SQL completely with those definitions. Examples of these SQL dialects are MS SQL Server specific version of the SQL called T-SQL and Oracle version of SQL called PL/SQL. SQL is a declarative language designed for creating and querying on relational database management systems.
