Structured Query Language (SQL) is a domain-specific programming language for database query and programming. It is used to access data and to query, update, and manage relational database systems. Both programs and users can read and write data by executing SQL statements.
SQL provides an interface to a relational database such as OceanBase Database.
SQL unifies tasks such as the following in one consistent language:
Creating, replacing, updating, and dropping objects
Inserting, updating, and deleting table rows
Querying data
Controlling access to databases and their objects
Ensuring database consistency and integrity
SQL can be used interactively (by sending SQL statements directly to OceanBase Database) or embedded in different languages such as C or Java.
