Introduction of SQL-

SQL means Structured Query Language, The SQL software used for database handling like data insert into database, Update from database, Delete from database also we alter table with use of SQL. The SQL also called S-Q-L or sometime See-Qwell. The SQL  uses a relational database system for data accessing and fetching mainly. They also describing data in well manner.

Features of SQL-

  1. The SQL provide different functionality to user for data manipulation task.
  2. SQL is scalable and maintain integrity of data.
  3. They provide Data Manipulation Language(DML), Data Definition Language(DDL), Data Control Language(DCL), Transaction Control Language(TCL), Data Query Language(DQL) commands for data operations.
  4. Complex calculations perform well in manner on SQL platform.
  5. The security of data strongly bound with user at the time of database accessing.
  6. That functionality support to ‘view’ that reason user can extract data from different point.

SQL Data Types-

The all data can be saved with use of data types mainly. In SQL mainly 3 types of data types are occurred for data saved successively. The 3 types of data types as fallows-
