What is in the name "SQL" ?

First lets see what is SQL? we all know that SQL stands for Structured Query Language. It does not make much sense in first look. But it says something that it is a language used to query. Yes, it is a language used to query databases. The scope of this language is to query/update data, schema creation/updation and manage databases.

But why is it called "Structured"? Because, this language is written in simple Structured English statements, so it is called Structured Query Language formerly Structure English Query Language.
