Brief description
SQL (structured query language — «structured query language») formal non-procedural programming language used to create, modify and manage data in an arbitrary relational database managed by appropriate database management system (DBMS). SQL is based on tuple calculus.
SQL is primarily an information-logical language designed to describe, modify, and retrieve data stored in relational databases. SQL can be called a programming language, while it is not Turing-complete, but the language standard specification, SQL/PSM provides the possibility of its procedural extensions.
