What are SQL Queries?

SQL (Structured Query Language) is a programming language designed for managing and manipulating relational database systems. It provides a standardized way to interact with databases, allowing users to perform various operations such as querying data, updating records, inserting new data, and deleting information (CRUD Operation). SQL is widely used in the field of database management and is supported by most relational database management systems (RDBMS).

In this article, we will explore the process of executing SQL queries from CGI scripts. To achieve this, we have developed a CGI script that involves importing the database we created. The focus of this discussion will be on writing code to execute SQL queries in Python CGI scripts. The initial step involves creating a database, and it’s worth noting that prebuilt databases can also be utilized for this purpose in Python.
