SQL, which stands for "Structured Query Language," is a computer language for relational database systems. It was first developed at IBM.

In 1986 the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) promulgated standards for SQL, and since then revisions have been approved by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

SQL was immensely successful, and the open-source counterpart is MySQL. MySQL is the programming language used by wiki-based systems, including MediaWiki.
