Definition of SQL |
Abbreviation of structured query language, and
pronounced either see-kwell or as separate letters. SQL is a
standardized query language for requesting information from a database.
The original version called SEQUEL (structured English query language)
was designed by an IBM research center in 1974 and 1975. SQL was first
introduced as a commercial database system in 1979 by Oracle
Corporation.
Historically, SQL has been the favorite query language for database
management systems running on minicomputers and mainframes.
Increasingly, however, SQL is being supported by PC database systems
because it supports distributed databases (databases that are spread out
over several computer systems). This enables several users on a
local-area network to access the same database simultaneously.
Although there are different dialects of SQL, it is nevertheless the
closest thing to a standard query language that currently exists. In
1986, ANSI approved a rudimentary version of SQL as the official
standard, but most versions of SQL since then have included many
extensions to the ANSI standard. In 1991, ANSI updated the standard. The
new standard is known as SAG SQL.
