What is the purpose of DML Language?

DML (Data Manipulation Language) makes the user able to retrieve and manipulate data in a relational database. The DML commands can only perform read-only operations on data. We can perform the following operations using the DDL language:

  • Insert data into the database through the INSERT command.
  • Retrieve data from the database through the SELECT command.
  • Update data in the database through the UPDATE command.
  • Delete data from the database through the DELETE command.
