What Is SQL?

The database is the application that stores a collection of data. A database offers various APIs for creating, accessing and managing the data it holds. And database (DB) servers can be integrated with our web development so that we can pick up the things we want from the database without much difficulties. A DB may hold various critical information like usernames, passwords, credit cards, etc. So, the DB needs to be secured but many DB servers running are insecure either because of their vulnerability or because of poor programming skills. To name few DB servers: MySQL (Open source), MSSQL, MS-ACCESS, Oracle, Postgre SQL (open source), SQLite, etc.
