SQL
Structured Query Language. Mostly standardized language for accessing relational databases. Divided into DML, DDL, and DCL. SQL is the programming interface for the database of an AS ABAP. In ABAP, the DML part is mapped by ABAP SQL and ABAP CDS. The full scope of the SQL statements of the installed database system, however, is available in Native SQL or in AMDP methods.
