SQL - Language of Data!
If you want to work with data, SQL is your
new best friend! SQL (Structured Query
Language) is a programming language
designed to help you communicate with
databases. It’s like asking a giant library to
hand you exactly the books (data) you
need."

SQL vs DBMS vs RDBMS
What’s the Difference? 🧐
Think of it like the library itself,
DBMS where data (books) is stored
and managed.
Now imagine the books are
organized into categories (tables),
RDBMS and they’re linked (relationships)
to make it easy to find what you
need!
This is the language you use to
SQL ask the librarian (the database)
for specific books."
