About Sql
SQL was developed in the early 1970s by IBM researchers Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce. It was created to provide a standardized way to interact with relational databases, which were based on the relational model proposed by Edgar F. Codd. The language became widely adopted due to its simplicity and effectiveness in managing large amounts of structured data.
SQL's strengths include its powerful querying capabilities, standardized syntax, and widespread adoption. Weaknesses involve scalability issues with very large datasets and complexity in handling unstructured data. Competitors include NoSQL databases like MongoDB, Cassandra, and Redis, which offer better scalability and flexibility for certain types of data.
