SQL Database
An SQL (Structured Query Language) Database is a type of relational database that stores data in tables with rows and columns. It uses SQL as the standard language to create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) data efficiently.
SQL databases are designed to maintain data integrity, consistency, and relationships between different data sets. They are widely used for applications that require structured data storage, querying, and reporting, such as banking systems, e-commerce platforms, and enterprise applications.
Popular SQL databases include MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, and PostgreSQL, which provide features like transaction management, indexing, security, and backup/recovery to support reliable and scalable data management.
