    These sub-languages are mainly categorized into four categories: a data query language (DQL), a data definition language (DDL), a data control language (DCL), and a data manipulation language (DML). Sometimes a transaction control language (TCL) [ 1 ] is argued to be part of the sub-language set as well.

    Having produced a conceptual data model that users are happy with, the next stage is to translate this into a schema that implements the relevant data structures within the database. This process is often called logical database design, and the output is a logical data model expressed in the form of a schema. Whereas the conceptual data model ...

  8. Database normalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization

    A basic objective of the first normal form defined by Codd in 1970 was to permit data to be queried and manipulated using a "universal data sub-language" grounded in first-order logic. [1] An example of such a language is SQL , though it is one that Codd regarded as seriously flawed.
