Database Programming Languages
Programming languages such as C++, BASIC, and Pascal were produced as general function languages, which means that you can use them to write a flight simulator, an accounting program, a voice identification program, or a word processor.
One of the most common uses for computers, however, is storing and recalling information, such as names, addresses, telephone numbers, prison records, credit history, and past job experience. Calculators store such data in a database. Almost every business relies on databases to store info about clients, inventories, and employees, so nearly every company uses a database program.
Unluckily, most people don’t want to know the strange and often freaky commands necessary to store, retrieve, or print info from a database. To make databases easier to use, most databases include a programming specific language. If you publish programs using a database’s programming language, you can produce custom databases for various companies. Best of all, database programming languages enable you to create customized databases much faster than using a generic purpose language such as C++ or BASIC.
