Introduction to SQL (Structured Query Language) provides a foundation for managing and manipulating relational databases. SQL is a standardized language used to create, retrieve, update, and delete data within databases. It consists of various commands categorized into Data Definition Language (DDL), Data Manipulation Language (DML), Data Control Language (DCL), and Transaction Control Language (TCL).

Widely used in applications ranging from small-scale software to enterprise-level systems, SQL is essential for database administrators, developers, and data analysts.
