SQL
Databases
SQL (Structured Query Language) is the standard language used to create, query, update, and manage data in relational databases. Developers, data analysts, and database administrators use SQL commands like SELECT, JOIN, INSERT, and UPDATE to retrieve and manipulate structured data across systems like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server. It's one of the most foundational and widely required skills in software development and data analysis roles.
