DML most commonly stands for Data Manipulation Language. It refers to a subset of SQL (Structured Query Language) commands used to interact with and manipulate data within a database. DML commands include:
- SELECT : Retrieve data from database tables
- INSERT : Add new records to tables
- UPDATE : Modify existing data within tables
- DELETE : Remove records from tables
DML is essential for performing operations that change or query the data stored in a database, making it a core component of database management systems
. DML can have other meanings in different contexts (such as Doctor of Modern Languages, Domain Modeling Language, etc.), but in computing and data management, Data Manipulation Language is the most widely recognized definition
