Subject:
DML, DQL, DCL, DDL???
You Asked....
I don't think there is such a thing as DQL, simply DML covers queries and updates, DDL structure.
and we responded....
DML - Data Manipulation Language (i.e. INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE)
DQL - Data Query Language (i.e. SELECT)
DDL - Data Definition Language (i.e. CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE)
DCL was from my old System36 days when I was a computer operator it stood for at the time Data Command Language. If there are any Sys36 people out there please correct if I used the DCL acronym incorrectly.
Here is an good article that you may want to reference:
