Structured query language, or SQL, is considered to be today’s
standard means of manipulating and querying data in relational databases. SQL
is a domain specific language that is utilized in programming. In addition to
managing the data that is stored in the relational database, SQL can stream the
processes in a management stream. There have been many systems that do what SQL
does, called APIs. SQL has generally surpassed its competition by introducing
the concept of accessing a multitude of records by using a single command. SQL
also eliminates the use for an index by letting the user bypass entering a
command to access a record.

Andrew, for someone whom this is their first IB class, or does not know any other language then Matlab, what would someone on the outside see that is different then other methods/procedures? Is there any relevance to people not managing the database itself? How does it affect the engineers and designers? What reason does someone care how many queries are made during a request?
