Introduction to Oracle SQL

Introduction to Oracle SQL Structured Query Language (SQL) is the set of statements with which all programs and users access data in an Oracle Database. Application programs and Oracle tools often allow users access to the database without using SQL directly, but these applications in turn must use SQL when executing the user's request. This chapter provides background information on SQL as used by most database systems . These chapter contains 4 important topics: ·           History of SQL ·          SQL Standards ·           Lexical Conventions ·          Tools Support Are looking for Oracle training in Chennai

Oracle Database Concepts

Database Concepts SQL (pronounced  sequel ) is the set-based, high-level declarative computer language with which all programs and users access data in an Oracle database. Although some Oracle tools and applications mask SQL use, all database operations are performed using SQL. Any other data access method circumvents the security built into Oracle Database and potentially compromises data security and integrity. SQL provides an interface to a relational database such as Oracle Database. SQL unifies tasks such as the following in one consistent language: Creating, replacing, altering, and dropping objects Inserting, updating, and deleting table rows Querying data Controlling access to the database and its objects Guaranteeing database consistency and integrity SQL can be used  interactively , which means that statements are entered manually into a program.

History of SQL Dr. E. F. Codd published the paper, "A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks", in June 1970 in the Association of Computer Machinery (ACM) journal,  Communications of the ACM . Codd's model is now accepted as the definitive model for relational database management systems (RDBMS). The language, Structured English Query Language (SEQUEL) was developed by IBM Corporation, Inc., to use Codd's model. SEQUEL later became SQL (still pronounced "sequel"). In 1979, Relational Software, Inc. (now Oracle) introduced the first commercially available implementation of SQL. Today, SQL is accepted as the standard RDBMS language. SQL Standards Oracle strives to comply with industry-accepted standards and participates actively in SQL standards committees. Industry-accepted committees are the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which is affiliated with the I...
