FEAUTURES OF SQL
Benefits of SQL: Why You Should Use SQL

• Why should you use SQL, and what are the benefits of SQL server? Below are numerous benefits
of SQL and reasons why people prefer it:
• You can use SQL as a programmer to write apps using databases
• Several users of a database can, via SQL, receive different views of the structure and content of
the database; thus, SQL offers multiple data views.
• People use SQL to create and manage databases and their security. SQL is a complete language
for a database, and its main use is in retrieving, updating, and sharing data with more than one
user.
• You can use SQL in a 3-tiered internet architecture, including a database, a client, and an
application server.
• You can also use SQL to connect your clients or front-end computers and servers or back-end
databases while supporting a solid client-server architecture.
Benefits of SQL: Why You Should Use SQL
• SQL is widely considered a very desirable skill with many jobs such as web development, IT support,
and business data analysts needed the skills in SQL.
• With SQL, you get databases at a low cost but with a large community backing them. This is all
because SQL is open source, and some free databases include MySQL, Postgres, and MariaDB.
• SQL is thankfully portable and can run on PCs, tablets, mainframes, laptops, smartphones, and
servers. What’s more, SQL runs on the internet, local systems, and intranet, and users can move
databases that use SQL from one device to another.
• Due to SQL’s interactive language, you can use it to communicate with a database and receive
answers to complex questions instantly.
• All the major database management system vendors, including Microsoft, IBM, and Oracle, use SQL.
• Perhaps one of the best advantages of SQL and a solid reason why you should use SQL is that it is
easy to learn and understand. It consists of mainly English statements, making it easier to understand,
learn, and write SQL queries.
