SQL - Structured Query Language
SQL stands for Structured Query Language and is used to pull information from databases.SQL offers many features making it a powerfully diverse language that also offers a secure way to work with databases.
SQL - Fundamentals
SQL alone can input, modify, and drop data from databases. In this tutorial we use command line examples to show you the basics of what we are able to accomplish. With the use of web languages such as HTML and PHP, SQL becomes an even greater tool for building dynamic web pages. To get started you will need a working database program such as Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, or Mysql.
For more information and installation help on either of the above database programs, we suggest you go straight to the developer homepages at:
Oracle
SQL Server
MySQL
SQL - World Wide Web
SQL has become a popular among web designers due to its flexibility and simplicity. With some basic knowledge of HTML, PHP, and a database program such as MySQL, a web designer is capable of creating some of the most complex of web sites. Most of the concepts demonstrated here in the tutorial are also great for web programming.
