SQL

Structured Query Language , A specialized programming language for sending queries to databases.

Most industrial-strength and many smaller database applications can be addressed using SQL. Each specific application will have its own version of SQL implementing features unique to that application, but all SQL-capable databases support a common subset of SQL.

The most popular SQL database available with Unix hosting plans is MySQL.
