QUEL is a relational database query language, based on tuple relational calculus, with some similarities to SQL.It was created as a part of the Ingres DBMS effort at University of California, Berkeley, based on Codd's earlier suggested but not implemented Data Sub-Language ALPHA.
SELECT is the most common operation in SQL, called "the query". SELECT retrieves data from one or more tables, or expressions. Standard SELECT statements have no persistent effects on the database. Some non-standard implementations of SELECT can have persistent effects, such as the SELECT INTO syntax provided in some databases. [4]
The SQL language is subdivided into several language elements, including: Keywords are words that are defined in the SQL language. They are either reserved (e.g. SELECT, COUNT and YEAR), or non-reserved (e.g. ASC, DOMAIN and KEY). List of SQL reserved words. Identifiers are names on database objects, like tables, columns and schemas. An ...

The first is whether a variable-column pair t.a is bound to the column of a relation or a constant, and the second is whether two variable-column pairs are directly or indirectly equated (denoted t.v == s.w). For deriving boundedness we introduce the following reasoning rules: in " v.a = w.b" no variable-column pair is bound,
SQL Plus-internal variables, accessible within an SQL Plus session, include: user variables, displayable with the DEFINE command and referenceable with one or two cases of a prefixed character (default prefixes: '&' and '&&'). Oracle Corporation calls these variables "substitution variables".
A true fully (database, schema, and table) qualified query is exemplified as such: SELECT * FROM database. schema. table. Both a schema and a database can be used to isolate one table, "foo", from another like-named table "foo". The following is pseudo code: SELECT * FROM database1. foo vs. SELECT * FROM database2. foo (no explicit schema ...
PL/SQL refers to a class as an "Abstract Data Type" (ADT) or "User Defined Type" (UDT), and defines it as an Oracle SQL data-type as opposed to a PL/SQL user-defined type, allowing its use in both the Oracle SQL Engine and the Oracle PL/SQL engine. The constructor and methods of an Abstract Data Type are written in PL/SQL.
