Database languages and

interfaces
• Database languages and interfaces are tools that are used to
interact with a database management system (DBMS) and
perform various operations such as data retrieval,
manipulation, administration, and querying. Here are some
commonly used database languages and interfaces
• SQL (Structured Query Language): SQL is a language for
managing relational databases. SQL provides commands for
creating tables, inserting, updating, and deleting data,
querying data, and managing database objects such as indexes
and views.

•
• Query Builders: Query builders are graphical tools or
interfaces that enable users to construct SQL queries visually,
without writing the actual SQL statements. These tools often
provide a drag-and-drop interface to select tables, columns,
and conditions, and generate the corresponding SQL code.
• Stored Procedures: Stored procedures are precompiled
database programs that are stored and executed on the
database server. They allow users to define complex
operations that can be reused and executed within the
database. Stored procedures are typically written in a
procedural language such as PL/SQL.
• Programming APIs: Database programming APIs (Application
Programming Interfaces) provide libraries or frameworks for
developers to interact with a database programmatically in
their preferred programming language. Examples include JDBC
(Java Database Connectivity) for Java, ADO.NET for .NET
languages, and SQLAlchemy for Python
• Graphical User Interfaces (GUI): DBMS often offer graphical
user interfaces that provide a visual environment for
managing databases. These interfaces allow users to perform
tasks such as creating tables, designing queries, and managing
database objects through a user-friendly interface without the
need for writing code.
