SQL does not stand for "Structured Query Language"…

Nor is it pronounced "sequel." SQL is just "ess-que-elle." Why? Because ANSI says so in document x3.135-1992, Database Language—SQL.

Does anyone know if there is another language or set of commands beside SQL for talking with databases?
I’m working on a project and am doing some research thanks

You know, the thing about SQL is, that there is virtually nothing that can replace it.
Does anyone know if a substitute exists for sql? I mean besides MS SQL and Oracle and all that jazz. Thanks.
