What is SQL...

  • SQL stands for Structured Query Language & allows you access & manipulate databases
  • SQL became a standard of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1986, and of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1987.

What Can SQL do?

  • Create new databases / tables in a database
  • Insert records in a database
  • Retrieve data from a database
  • Execute queries against a database
  • Update records in a database
  • Delete records from a database
  • SQL can create stored procedures in a database
  • Create views in a database
  • Permissions on tables, procedures, and views

Although SQL is a standardized language, there are different variations of SQL . However, to be compliant with the ANSI standard, they all support the major commands (such as SELECT DELETE, INSERT, UPDATE, WHERE) in a similar fashion. 

 


SQL statements are further classified depending on their function OR characteristic OR the way they are executed.

An SQL statement can be executed in two ways -either dynamically or statically. This blog thus shall focus on concepts of Dynamic SQL and Static/Embedded SQL.
