Answer to Question 1

Structured Query Language (SQL) is an international standard language for processing
a database. DBMS products like DB2 from IBM, Access and SQL Server from Microsoft, and
Oracle Database from the Oracle Corporation accept and process SQL statements. Another
popular DBMS that accepts SQL statements is MySQL, an open source DBMS product that is
license-free for most applications. One need not understand or remember SQL language syntax.
Instead, one needs to just realize that SQL is an international standard for processing a database.
Also, SQL can be used to create databases and database structures.
