SQL Data Languages
SQL commands are divided into four major categories, or
languages. Each language defines a subset of
commands that serve a related purpose. The first language is the
Data Definition Language, or
DDL, which refers to commands that define the
structure of tables, views, indexes, and other data containers and objects
within the database. CREATE TABLE (used
to define a new table) and DROP VIEW
(used to delete a view) are examples of DDL commands.
The second category of commands is known as
Data Manipulation Language, or
DML. These are all of the commands that insert,
update, delete, and query actual data values from the data structures
defined by the DDL. INSERT (used to
insert new values into a table) and SELECT (used to query or look up data from tables) are
examples of DML commands.
Related to the DML and DDL is the Transaction Control Language, or
TCL. TCL commands can be used to control
transactions of DML and DDL commands. BEGIN (used to begin a multistatement transaction) and
COMMIT (used to end and accept a
transaction) are examples of TCL commands.
The last category is the Data Control Language, or DCL. The main purpose of the DCL is to grant or revoke access control. Much like file permissions, DCL commands are used to allow (or deny) specific database users (or groups of users) permission to utilize or access specific resources within a database. These permissions can apply to both the DDL and the DML. DDL permissions might include the ability to create a ...
