SQL Lessons
SQL, or Structured Query Language, is a programming language vital to modern databases. Learning SQL puts you in touch with a world of data and interesting job opportunities.
SQL was first developed in 1974 at IBM. The original version was called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language) and was designed to manipulate and retrieve data in one of IBM’s original database management systems. The idea was eventually picked up by a software company now called the Oracle Corporation, which developed its own SQL-based database management systems. SQL is still used today for managing data.
