Question

What language is SQL based on?

Originally based upon relational algebra and tuple relational calculus, SQL consists of many types of statements, which may be informally classed as sublanguages, commonly: a data query language (DQL), a data definition language (DDL), a data control language (DCL), and a data manipulation language (DML).

Do I need to learn C before SQL?

Not at all. In fact, it's better if you don't, because SQL is a declarative language while C (and most others) are procedural. This means they have almost nothing in common and you would only be confused trying to learn one by making comparisons to the other.

Does SQL support C?

SQL is not written in C. It is a standard query language that people use as an interface to relational database management systems (RDBMS).

Is SQL a C++?

No, C++ is not similar to SQL as they both are different branches in programming. C++ is a programming language that is used to develop applications, write algorithms, and many more. On the other hand, SQL is used to perform certain actions on the database.
