Used to interact with the Databases. There are plenty of  SQL Queries that are used to query the data. Basically they are categorised into 3 groups.

  1. DDL
  2. DML
  3. DCL

1. DDL(Data Definition Language): All the commands in this category are used on table definition(design/structure) such as creating , changing field name, datatype, size, add or remove fields etc, you can also find commands for creating, altering or deleting any database objects such as user,view etc.
  •  Create
  •  Alter
  •  Drop  
2. DML(Data Manipulation Language): These are commands used on table data.
  •  Select
  •  Insert
  •  Update
  •  Delete
