SQL

Structured Query Language

Structure, now there's a thing we know to appreciate...

Query, ask, question, google, ... we all do it (or should be, at least some of the time)

Language, we all use (at least) one, i.e. you are either listening to or reading this text.

SQL is only the last (?) language in the multi-tier cake of database languages.
DML data manipulation lanaguage,
DCL data control language,
DDL data definition language,
...

All there's to it.
