SQL is a Standard - BUT....

Although SQL is an ANSI/ISO standard, there are different versions of the SQL language. However, to be compliant with the ANSI standard, they all support at least the major commands (such as SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, INSERT, WHERE) in a similar manner.

Note: Most of the SQL database programs also have their own proprietary extensions in addition to the SQL standard!


In this course we will use MySQL which is a relational database management system that comes with some sample database when installed.

We will perform the essential operations that occur frequently on any database system using the MySQL Client Tool which is a command line interface utility.

Create | Read  | Update | Delete
