	SQL - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Structured English Query Language ("SEQUEL") was designed to manipulate and retrieve data stored in System R. The acronym SEQUEL was later condensed to SQL due to a trademark dispute (the word 'SEQUEL' was held as a trade mark by the Hawker-Siddeley aircraft company of the UK).
		SQL was adopted as a standard by the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) in 1986 and ISO (International Organization for Standardization) in 1987.
		However, it also makes it possible for SQL source code to be produced (and optimized) by software, leading to the development of a number of natural language database query languages, as well as 'drag and drop' database programming packages with 'object oriented' interfaces.

	Structured Query Language : SQL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		SQL was revised in 1992, and that version is known as SQL-92.
		SQL, although defined by both ANSI and ISO, has many variations and extensions, most of which are of a proprietary nature, such as Oracle Corporation's PL/SQL or Sybase and Microsoft's Transact SQL[?].
		In their SQL standard, the American National Standards Institute declared that the official pronunciation is "es queue el." However, many database professionals have taken to the "slang" pronunciation sequel,that reflects the language's original name, Sequel, before trademark conflicts caused IBM to perpetrate the current moniker.

	SQL Tutorial (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		This page is a tutorial of the Structured Query Language (also known as SQL) and is a pioneering effort on the World Wide Web, as this is the first comprehensive SQL tutorial available on the Internet.
		SQL allows users to access data in relational database management systems, such as Oracle, Sybase, Informix, Microsoft SQL Server, Access, and others, by allowing users to describe the data the user wishes to see.
		SQL also allows users to define the data in a database, and manipulate that data.

	SQL Tutorial - Thunder Software
		While there are other SQL commands that can be executed to create tables and indexes or to insert, update and delete data, this tutorial will concentrate only on SQL queries to assist the reader in retrieving pre-existing data through definition and relevant example.
		SQL is a query language that allows access to data residing in relational database management systems (RDBMS), such as Sybase, Oracle, Informix, DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, Access and many others.
		This makes it easier to write queries as well as provides clarity in reading a query, it may also be required to eliminate ambiguity caused when two or more tables are joined together and the query engine cannot determine which table the column you are referencing should be used.

	SQL - Structured Query Language
		Structured Query Language - SQL is a standard interactive and programming language for getting information from and updating a database.
		SQL is a special-purpose, nonprocedural language that supports the definition, manipulation, and control of data in relational database management systems.
		SQL was first introduced as a commercial database system in 1979 by Oracle Corporation.

	Structured Query Language (SQL) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		SQL is rather an unwieldy language, and it is (especially as specified in more recent standards) an extremely large language.
		Unfortunately, despite the standardization efforts, and because of the dominance of a small number of database vendors who have proprietary implementations of the SQL language, with their own extensions and quirks, a true, practical, SQL standard is still not a reality.
		SQL is a very complex language, and I cannot hope to give it more than introductory coverage here.

	ADO Primer: Structured Query Language (SQL) Basics
		Queries are used to retrieve a specific set of data from a record source.
		Queries can also be used to update a database (add, edit or delete records) or create or modify a database structure.
		A parameter query is a query that when run prompts the user for information, such as criteria for retrieving records or a value to insert in a field.

	SQLCourse - Lesson 1: What is SQL?
		SQL is used to communicate with a database.
		SQL statements are used to perform tasks such as update data on a database, or retrieve 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.

	Summarizing data with SQL (Structured Query Language)
		Structured Query Language (SQL) was created to shield the database programmer from understanding the specifics of how data is physically stored in each database management system and also to provide a universal foundation for updating, creating and extracting data from database systems that support an SQL interface.
		SQL and its predecessors (other query languages) changed a lot of that by providing a logical abstraction to this physical layer.
		An interesting footnote is that SQL originated from work done in Mathematics Set Theory and a language called SEQUEL (Structured English QUery Language) an API created by IBM for its first relational database management system System/R. In fact many people still pronouce SQL as SEQUEL.

	Microsoft Access: Lesson 16 - The Structured Query Language
		In fact, all queries are based on SQL and this language is used by most database development environments, including Microsoft Access.
		Because Microsoft Access provides very flexible and advanced means of creating queries, you can create almost any type of query without knowing anything about the SQL but it is important to understand this language because you should have an idea of what Microsoft Access does when you ask it to create a query.
		To create more advanced queries, the SQL allows you to sort a field on a query and use this arrangement as part of the query.

	Oracle Embraces Structured Query Language
		Eventually, SQL (Structured Query Language) became the data-access language for use with relational databases, including Oracle.
		The original SQL interface was designed to work with relational tables, their rows, and their columns.
		The SQL interface expanded to include new object types and object views to work with object-oriented data and integrate it with relational data, an improvement made necessary by the object relational database capabilities introduced in Oracle8.

		First, SQL finds the rows where the salary is greater than $60,000 and the position column is equal to Manager, then taking this new list of rows, SQL then sees if any of these rows satisfies the previous AND condition or the condition that the Benefits column is greater than $12,000.
		This query shows the total of all salaries in the table, and the average salary of all of the entries in the table.
		If your query, on the other hand, returns multiple rows, you will have to use the Fetch statement, and quite probably, some sort of looping structure in your program will be required to iterate processing on each returned row of the query.

		While this mechanism may be used to access any data source, this specification is specifically targeted to meet the needs of databases with a "Structured Query Language" [SQL98] interface.
		It is assumed that the database implements a "POSIX Regular Expressions" [REGEX] extension to its SQL expressions.
		For an SQL implementation, it performs a 'insert' statement using fields from the query argument.

		SQL, the Structured Query Language, is a moderately standardized language for communicating with databases.
		Unfortunately, most every database out there has their own dialect of SQL, so it is necessary to stick with a bare minimum of commands, so that it is moderately portable whatever database you want to use.
		Note that the WHERE clause is optional, so be careful, or you may end up removing all the records from a table unintentionally.

		Queries are constructed from a command language that lets you select, insert, update and locate data.
		The primary vehicle used for querying, reading and updating relational databases is a language called Structured Query Language, or SQL (generally pronounced sequel).
		SQL is so pervasive and fundamental to accomplishing any work involving a database that virtually every application or development tool today, no matter what its own interface looks like, ends up translating queries and other commands into SQL.
