How does editing relational databases occur and what language is used for this?

Editing relational databases is done through executing SQL queries. SQL (Structured Query Language) is the standard language for working with relational databases.

Main data editing operations:

• Insert (INSERT): Adds new rows to a table.
• Update (UPDATE): Modifies data in existing rows.
• Delete (DELETE): Removes rows from a table.

Examples of SQL queries for each operation:

-- Insert a new record into the users table
INSERT INTO users (first_name, last_name, email)
VALUES ('Ivan', 'Petrov', 'ivan.petrov@example.com');

-- Update the email of the user with id = 1
UPDATE users
SET email = 'ivan_petrov_new@example.com'
WHERE id = 1;

-- Delete the user with id = 2
DELETE FROM users
WHERE id = 2;

Each SQL query is sent to the database server, which processes it and performs the corresponding action with the data. The result of execution (success or error) is returned to the requester.

Using SQL allows centralized data management, ensuring data integrity and consistency.
