Which one of the following is used to define the structure of the relation ,deleting relations and relating schemas ?

  • A.DML(Data Manipulation Langauge)
  • B.DDL(Data Definition Langauge)
  • C.Query
  • D.Relational Schema

Answer: B

Correct answer: DDL(Data Definition Langauge)

Defining a relation's structure, deleting relations and relating schemas are all structural operations, and they belong to the Data Definition Language - CREATE, ALTER and DROP.

DML works on the data those structures hold. A query is one DML statement rather than a language, and a relational schema is the description DDL produces, not the means of producing it. A practical consequence of the split: in most engines DDL commits implicitly and cannot be rolled back.
