-Data Definition Language (DDL): Used by the DBA and database designers to specify the
conceptual schema of a database. In many DBMSs, the DDL is also used to define internal
and external schemas (views). In some DBMSs, separate storage definition language (SDL) and view definition language (VDL) are used to define internal and external schemas.
-Data Manipulation Language (DML): Used to specify database retrievals and updates.DML commands (data sublanguage) can be embedded in a general-purpose programming language (host language), such as COBOL, C or an Assembly Language.Alternatively, stand-alone DML commands can be applied directly (query language).
-High Level or Non-procedural Languages: e.g., SQL, are set-oriented and specify what data to retrieve than how to retrieve. Also called declarative languages.
-Low Level or Procedural Languages: record-at-a-time; they specify how to retrieve data and include constructs such as looping.
