| Glossary Term | Structured Query Language |
| Definition | Structured Query Language (SQL) is used to communicate with a database. According to ANSI (American National Standards Institute), it is the standard language for relational database management systems. SQL statements perform tasks such as updating data in or retrieving data from a database. Some common relational database management systems that use SQL are: Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server, Access, Ingres, etc. Although most database systems use SQL, most of them also have their own additional proprietary extensions that are usually only used on their system. The Query Forms at MGI extract information from databases by generating instructions in SQL. |
