why SQL called structured query language
Answers
The original full name of SQL was SEQUEL, which stood for "Structured English Query Language". A language which has been structured in English or lets say English-Like Query language which follows the syntax structure of English.
Example -
SELECT PRICE FROM BOOKS WHERE NAME = ‘DATABASE SYSTEM CONCEPT’
SELECT GRADES FROM RESULT WHERE NAME = ‘BASUKI’ AND SURNAME = “NATH”
Looks pretty much like an English sentence.
Later on it had to be renamed to SQL due to trademark issues.
