The SQL part in MySQL stands for “Structured Query Language”. It’s very interesting to know that SQL is the most common standardized language used to access databases.
You might enter SQL directly embed SQL statements into code written in another language, or use a language-specific API that hides the SQL syntax, depending on your programming environment.
The ANSI/ISO SQL Standard defines SQL. The SQL standard has seen to be evolving since 1986 and several versions exist till date.
