what is Data Manipulation Language (DML)?

Data Manipulation Language (DML) is a subset of SQL used to manage and manipulate data within a database. DML commands allow users to perform operations such as:

- **SELECT**: Retrieve data from one or more tables.

- **INSERT**: Add new records to a table.

- **UPDATE**: Modify existing records in a table.

- **DELETE**: Remove records from a table.

DML is essential for querying and modifying the data stored in a database, enabling effective data management and interaction.
