 Data Base Language

The database language by the use of which we

can perform certain operations on the existing
database and also we can use this language to
create a database.
 Data Base Language

Example of Data Base Language : Structured

Query Language(SQL)
Data Base Language
Data Base Language Types
 Types of Data Base Language

 Data Definition Language

 Data Manipulation Language
 Data Control Language
 Transaction Control Language
 Data Definition Language

DDL stands for Data Definition Language. It is used to define

database structure or pattern.
 The language is used to create database, tables, alter them,
etc. With this, you can also rename the database, or drop
them.
 It specifies the database schema.
 Using the DDL statements, you can create the skeleton of the
database.
 Data definition language is used to store the information of
metadata like the number of tables and schemas, their names,
indexes, columns in each table, constraints, etc.
 Data Definition Language

 Create: It is used to create new database or Table .

 Alter: It is used to alter the structure of the exsisting
database.
 Drop: It is used to drop table from database.
 Truncate: It is used to remove all records from a table.
 Rename: It is used to rename DataBase or Table
 Comment: It is used to comment on the data dictionary.
 Data Manipulation Language

DML stands for Data Manipulation Language. It
is used for accessing and manipulating data in
a database. It handles user requests.
 Data Manipulation Language

Here are some tasks that come under DML:

 Select: It is used to retrieve data from a database.
 Insert: It is used to insert data into a table.
 Update: It is used to update existing data within a table.
 Delete: It is used to delete all records from a table.
 Merge: It performs UPSERT operation, i.e., insert or update
operations.
 Data Control Language

DCL(Data Control Language) : DCL includes commands such as

GRANT and REVOKE which mainly deals with the rights,
permissions and other controls of the database system.
 Data Control Language

Here are some tasks that come under DCL:

 Grant: It is used to give user access privileges to a database.
 Revoke: It is used to take back permissions from the user.
 Transaction Control Language

 TCL commands deal with the transaction within

the database.
 Transaction Control Language

 COMMIT– commits a Transaction.

 ROLLBACK– rollbacks a transaction in case
of any error occurs.
 SAVEPOINT–sets a savepoint within a
transaction.
 SET TRANSACTION–specify characteristics
for the transaction.
