SQL stands for structured query language. It's a language that you can use to talk to your database. You can also use it to retrieve, filter, sort, combine, add, update, and delete data in a database. It's basically a language you can use to interact with the database. The great thing is that anyone can learn how to write SQL queries. You definitely don't need a degree in computer science. And once you know it, you'll have another superpower that you can use at work.
