DATABASE LANGUAGES

In the early years of database usage, they were accessed by writing programs in a high
level procedural language such as COBOL. This required the skills of an experienced
programmer who had a thorough knowledge of database design as well as familiarity
with a language. As a result, access to databases was limited to those with procedural
language skills.

Modern databases can be accessed through easy-to-use query languages. Query


languages are similar to English and require little programming knowledge. Commands
entered through a computer terminal direct the machine to:
Search files
Make comparison
Generate reports
The utility of databases has greatly expanded because of query languages, even the users
can easily access complex databases, searching out specific pieces of data and generating
reports quickly and easily. Databases can be configured as follows; as single user
database, multi-user database and as distributed database.
