Answer to Question #88032 in Databases | SQL | Oracle | MS Access for Candace Wilson

Question

What is SQL, and is SQL a scripting language? What do you have to support your answer?

Answer 1

SQL stands for Structured Query Language. It is a standard language for accessing databases or, in other words, relational database management systems.

SQL is a scripting data-oriented language, since SQL script is executed from start to finish with no explicit entry point and is interpreted from source code.
