SQL (pronounced sequel) is an acronym for Structured Query Lan  \nWguage, a standardized language used to access and manipulate data. The history of SQL corresponds closely with the development of relational databases concepts published in a paper by Dr. E. F. Codd at IBM in 1970. He applied mathematical concepts to the specification of a method for data storage and access; this specification, which became the basis for relational databases, was intended to overcome the physical dependencies of the then-available database systems. The SQL language (originally called “System R” in the prototype and later called“SEQUEL”) was developed by the IBM Research Laboratory as a standard language to use with relational databases. In 1979 Oracle, then called Relational Software, Inc., introduced the first commercially available implementation of a relational database incorporating the SQL language. The SQL language evolved with many additional syntax expansions incorporated into the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) SQL standards developed since. Individual database vendors continuously added extensions to the language, which eventually found their way into the latest ANSI standards used by relational databases today. Large-scale commercial implementations of relational database applications started to appear in the mid to late 1980s as early implementations were  \n2 Chapter 1: SQL and Data  \nhampered by poor performance. Since then, relational databases and the SQL language have continuously evolved and improved.  \nBefore you begin to use SQL, however, you must know about data, databases, and relational databases. What is a database? A database is an organized collection of data. A database management system (DBMS) is software that allows the creation, retrieval, and manipulation of data. You use such systems to maintain patient data in a hospital, bank accounts in a bank, or inventory in a warehouse. A relational database management system (RDBMS) provides this functionality within the context of the relational database theory and the rules defined for relational databases by Codd. These rules, called “Codd’s Twelve Rules,” later expanded to include additional rules, describe goals for database management systems to cope with ever-challenging and demanding database requirements. Compliance with Codd’s Rules has been a major challenge for database vendors and early versions of relational databases and many desktop databases complied with only a handful of the rules.  \nToday, SQL is accepted as the universal standard database access language. Databases using the SQL language are entrusted with managing critical information affecting many aspects of our daily lives. Most applications developed today use a relational database and Oracle continues to be one of the largest and most popular database vendors. Although relational databases and the SQL language are already over 30 years old, there seems to be no slowing down of the popularity of the language. Learning SQL is probably one of the best long-term investments you can make for a number of reasons:  \n• SQL is used by most commercial database applications.  \n• Although the language has evolved over the years with a large array of syntax enhancements and additions, most of the basic functionality has remained essentially unchanged.  \n• SQL knowledge will continue to be a fundamental skill as there is currently no mature and viable alternative language that accomplishes the same functionality.  \n• Learning Oracle’s specific SQL implementation provides you with great insight into the feature-rich functionality of one of the largest and most successful database vendors.  \nUnderstanding relational database concepts provides you with the foundation for und","cbCaingyFBmpB1FJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaingyFBmpB1FJ","pdf",354845,"English","# Chapter Objectives\n# What is SQL?\n# Data, Databases, and Relational Databases\n# Codd’s Twelve Rules\n# Learning SQL and Relational Concepts\n# Lab 1.1: Data, Databases, and the Definition of SQL\n## Lab Objectives","[{\"question\":\"What is SQL and what is it used for?\",\"answer\":\"SQL is a standardized language used to access and manipulate data.
