for Structured Query Language.

IBM, 1970's, for use in System R. The de facto standard relational database interface language, often embedded in other programming languages.

It allows us to pose complex questions of a database. Also provides a means of creating databases. If you know SQL, you can apply this knowledge to MS Access, SQL server, Oracle, or Ingres and countless other databases. Works with relational databases (stores data in tables, relations).
