What is SQL?
SQL or Structured Query Language is the programming language developers use to create, manage, or query a relational database.
Popular SQL or relational database management systems (RDBMS) are MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MS SQL Server, all of which store data in related tables. Related tables are connected through primary and foreign keys.
Typically, tables in a relational database can be connected in one of three ways: in a one-to-many relationship, a many-to-many relationship, or a one-to-one relationship.
In the video tutorial below, we explain to you how to create tables, how to establish relationships, and how to visually inspect your database schema.
