A popular database language, SQL, stands for Standard Query Language.

• A. True
• B. Structured Query Language
• C. Standard Query Language
• D. False

Answer: (D)

SQL is the acronym for Structured Query Language. It originated from IBM’s SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language) before being shortened to SQL and retaining the word Structured in its full form. Although SQL is a standardized language used across relational databases, the official expansion uses Structured, not Standard. So the statement claiming it stands for Standard Query Language is not correct.
