| SQL / Database: Structured Query Language (SQL) is used to communicate with a database. According to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), it is the standard language for relational database management systems. SQL statements are used to perform tasks such as updating records in a database, or retrieving information from a database. Some common relational database management systems that use SQL are Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server, Access and Ingress. Although most database systems use SQL, many of them also have their own additional proprietary extensions that are usually only used on their system. However, the standard SQL commands such as �Select�, �Insert�, �Update�, �Delete�, �Create�, and �Drop� can be used to accomplish almost everything that one needs to do with a database. This course will provided me with the instruction on the basics of each of these commands as well as allow you to put them to practice using the SQL Interpreter.
