SQL Scripts

SQL Scripts are text files containing a sequence of SQL commands that are manually written and executed to interact with relational databases. They are used for tasks such as data manipulation, schema creation, data migration, and administrative operations. These scripts allow developers to automate and document database changes in a reproducible way.

Also known as: Manual SQL, SQL Queries, Database Scripts, SQL Files, SQL Commands

Why learn SQL Scripts?

Developers should learn SQL Scripts for database management, data analysis, and application development, especially when working with relational databases like MySQL or PostgreSQL. They are essential for tasks such as setting up database schemas, performing batch data updates, and migrating data between environments, providing control and transparency over database operations.
