Intro to SQL [Module no. 4]

 What is SQL?

Have you ever heard of SQL? If not, then allow me to clarify.

SQL or "Structured Query Language", is a standardized programming language that is used to manage relational databases and perform various operations on the data in them, it is honestly an easy language to learn. If you understand programming and already know some other languages, you can learn SQL in a few weeks. If you're a beginner, completely new to programming, it can take longer.

Now for a bonus question, should you use SQL? Well it is a better fit for heavy duty or complex transactions because it's more stable and ensure data integrity. You need to ensure ACID compliance. (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) or defining exactly how transactions interact with a database. You don't anticipate a lot of changes or growth, compared to python,
the significant difference between SQL and Python is that SQL is used to access and extract data from a database. At the same time, Python is used to analyze and manipulate data by using regression tests, time-series tests, and other computations. So in the end it really boils down on what type of database you are looking for, so yeah you can choose to us SQL.

You can include the same basic data types inside JSON as you can in a standard JavaScript object  strings, numbers, arrays, booleans, and other object literals.
