This chapter looks at the structures in a DB2 subsystem and those that make up a DB2 database.</p> <p>Many of these objects can be directly referenced from a SQL statement; therefore, it is important to understand their purpose. SQL is divided into three major categories:</p> <ul> <li><p>DDL (Data Definition Language) is used to create, modify, or drop database objects.</p></li> <li><p>DML (Data Manipulation Language) is used to select, insert, update, or delete database data (records).</p></li> <li><p>DCL (Data Control Language) is used to provide data object access control.</p></li> </ul> <p>As SQL has evolved, many new statements have been added to provide a more complete set of data access <one> methods </one> . Later in this chapter, the use of DDL to create database objects is discussed.</p> </td></tr></table> <hr size="1"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> <tr><td valign="top" height="5"><img src="http://flylib.com/books/2/607/1/html/2/images/pixel.gif" width="1" height="5" alt="" border="0"></td></tr> <tr> <td><b><font size="1" color="#0000FF">Team-Fly<img border="0" src="http://flylib.com/books/2/607/1/html/2/Fly-Logo.gif" width="81" height="25"></font></b></td> <td valign="top" align="right">     </td> </tr> </table> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td valign="top" align="right">Top</td></tr></table> </td></tr></table></td></tr></table> </li></ul>
