  2. Query plan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_plan

    A given database management system may offer one or more mechanisms for returning the plan for a given query. Some packages feature tools which will generate a graphical representation of a query plan. Other tools allow a special mode to be set on the connection to cause the DBMS to return a textual description of the query plan.

  3. Database normalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization

    An example of such a language is SQL, though it is one that Codd regarded as seriously flawed. [2] The objectives of normalization beyond 1NF (first normal form) were stated by Codd as: To free the collection of relations from undesirable insertion, update and deletion dependencies.

  4. Embedded SQL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_SQL

    A popular host language is C. Host language C and embedded SQL, for example, is called Pro*C in Oracle and Sybase database management systems, ESQL/C in Informix, and ECPG in the PostgreSQL database management system. SQL may also be embedded in languages like PHP etc. The SQL standard SQL:2023 is available through purchase and contains chapter ...

  5. SQL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL

    SQL was initially developed at IBM by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce after learning about the relational model from Edgar F. Codd [12] in the early 1970s. [13] This version, initially called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language), was designed to manipulate and retrieve data stored in IBM's original quasirelational database management system, System R, which a group at IBM San ...

  6. Query by Example - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_by_Example

    Query by Example (QBE) is a database query language for relational databases. It was devised by Moshé M. Zloof at IBM Research during the mid-1970s, in parallel to the development of SQL . [ 1 ] It is the first graphical query language, using visual tables where the user would enter commands, example elements and conditions.

  7. Data control language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Control_Language

    A data control language (DCL) is a syntax similar to a computer programming language used to control access to data stored in a database (authorization). In particular, it is a component of Structured Query Language (SQL). Data Control Language is one of the logical group in SQL Commands.

  8. First normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_normal_form

    In particular, SQL does not have any facilities for creating or exploiting nested tables. Normalization to first normal form would therefore be a necessary step when moving data from a hierarchical database to a relational database.

  9. Data manipulation language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_manipulation_language

    In SQL, the data manipulation language comprises the SQL-data change statements, [3] which modify stored data but not the schema or database objects. Manipulation of persistent database objects, e.g., tables or stored procedures, via the SQL schema statements, [3] rather than the data stored within them, is considered to be part of a separate data definition language (DDL).
