1. What is SQL?
SQL (Structured Query Language) is used to communicate with and manage data in a relational database.
Example:
SELECT * FROM Employees;
2. What is the difference between SQL and MySQL?
SQL is a query language, while MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS) that uses
SQL.
No specific code example; conceptual question.
3. What are the different types of SQL statements?
They include DDL (CREATE, ALTER), DML (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE), DCL (GRANT, REVOKE), and
TCL (COMMIT, ROLLBACK).
Example:
CREATE TABLE Students (ID INT, Name VARCHAR(50));
4. What is a primary key?
A primary key uniquely identifies each record in a table.
Example:
CREATE TABLE Students (ID INT PRIMARY KEY, Name VARCHAR(50));
5. What is a foreign key?
A foreign key is a field in one table that links to the primary key in another table.
Example:
CREATE TABLE Orders (OrderID INT, StudentID INT, FOREIGN KEY (StudentID) REFERENCES
Students(ID));
6. What is a JOIN? Explain its types.
JOIN is used to combine rows from two or more tables based on related columns.
Example:
SELECT Students.Name, Orders.OrderID FROM Students JOIN Orders ON Students.ID =

7. What is the difference between WHERE and HAVING clause?
WHERE filters rows before grouping, HAVING filters after.
Example:

8. How do you retrieve unique records from a table?
Use the DISTINCT keyword to get unique records.
Example:
SELECT DISTINCT City FROM Customers;

A subquery is a query inside another SQL query.
Example:
SELECT Name FROM Students WHERE ID IN (SELECT StudentID FROM Orders);
