Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the 21st century, data is the new oil. Every application, software, device, and equipment has some form of data or information that humans can optimize to make it favorable for them. Businesses now understand the importance of data collection and storage and leveraging them to aid their decision-making process. Databases, i.e., information stored digitally in rows and columns, are fundamental to an\u00a0 IT organization. The handling and maintenance of these databases require a steep learning curve for the best results. Therefore, understanding data manipulation commands (DML Commands) is of utmost importance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Many Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) is used to manage databases, such as MS Access, Oracle, Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server, etc. Structure Query Language, also known as SQL, is one of the most popular database languages.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Here, in this article, we’ll look at the Commands of SQL and its syntax to define the different aspects of various Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS).\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\r\n

Types of Commands in SQL\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The main types of commands present in SQL are:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

  1. Data Definition Language (DDL)<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\r\n
  2. Data Manipulation Language (DML)<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\r\n
  3. Data Control Language (DCL)<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\r\n
  4. Transaction Control Language (TCL)<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\r\n
  5. Data Query Language (DQL)<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    1) DDL<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    DDL is an abbreviation for Data Definition Language. DDL is used to define the schema or the structure of a database. Here are the main DDL commands of SQL with their syntax.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
