π¦ MySQL is a widely-used relational database management system (RDBMS) that uses Structured Query Language (SQL) to manage and manipulate data. SQL is divided into several categories, each serving a specific purpose: DDL, DML, DQL, TCL, and DCL. 1. Data Definition Language (DDL) DDL commands are used to define and manage database structures such as tables, indexes, and schemas. The main DDL commands include CREATE, ALTER, DROP, and TRUNCATE. ⭐ CREATE: This command creates a new database object. CREATE TABLE students ( id INT PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(100), age INT ); ⭐ ALTER : This command modifies an existing database object. ALTER TABLE students ADD COLUMN email VARCHAR(100); ⭐ DROP : This command deletes an existing database object. DROP TABLE students; ⭐ TRUNCATE : This command removes all records from a table without deleting the table itself. TRUNCATE TABLE students;
