Data Manipulation Language (DML) - Part of SQL

SQL allows you to manipulate data, which is really important. Let's say John's rank goes down and we need to change it to "Level 3" instead of "Level 5". We would use the UPDATE command to change his information.

SELECT - Retrieves information from the database for you.
UPDATE - Updates information in the database for you.
DELETE - Deletes data specified in the database.
INSERT INTO - inserts a new row of data in the database.
