\acrshort{sql}, or unabbreviated, \acrlong{sql}, is a \gls{declarative} programming language, used to describe and operate on databases.

This is is the point to mention \hlhref{https://xkcd.com/927/}{xkcd standards comic}, because, as is the case with almost any standard,
|

people deviate from it and new standards form.

Even though \textit{most} \acrshort{sql} databases support the standard SQL operations, many have added a lot of features on top.

|
\sql\ is split up into the query language itself, used to operate on data, as well as the Data Definition Language,
|
|
used to create, modify and delete schemas.
