Thanks for using the application! ==================================== SQL is a programming language designed for managing data in relational database management systems (RDBMS). Originally based upon relational algebra and tuple relational calculus, its scope includes data insert, query, update and delete, schema creation and modification, and data access control. SQL was one of the first commercial languages for Edgar F. Codd's relational model, as described in his influential 1970 paper, "A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks". Despite not adhering to the relational model as described by Codd, it became the most widely used database language. Although SQL is often described as, and to a great extent is, a declarative language, it also includes procedural elements. SQL became a standard of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1986, and of the International Organization for Standards (ISO) in 1987. Since then, the standard has been enhanced several times with added features. However, issues of SQL code portability between major RDBMS products still exist due to lack of full compliance with, or different interpretations of, the standard. Among the reasons mentioned are the large size and incomplete specification of the standard, as well as vendor lock-in. SQL was initially developed at IBM by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce in the early 1970s. This version, initially called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language), was designed to manipulate and retrieve data stored in IBM's original quasi-relational database management system, System R, which a group at IBM San Jose Research Laboratory had developed during the 1970s. The acronym SEQUEL was later changed to SQL because "SEQUEL" was a trademark of the UK-based Hawker Siddeley aircraft company. The first Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) was RDMS, developed at MIT in the early 1970s, soon followed by Ingres, developed in 1974 at U.C. Berkeley. Ingres implemented a query language known as QUEL, which was later supplanted in the marketplace by SQL. After testing SQL at customer test sites to determine the usefulness and practicality of the system, IBM began developing commercial products based on their System R prototype including System/38, SQL/DS, and DB2, which were commercially available in 1979, 1981, and 1983, respectively. ## Key features - Compile and run SQL programs - Text input and output - Syntax highlighting editor - Online language reference - Program samples ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | 100 Compilations for SQL Programming Language | $0.99 | one-time | | Unlimited Compilations for SQL Programming Language | $2.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 12) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sql-programming-language/id500477724/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Does it actually work? *2018-07-11, version 11.1* It doesn’t. I can’t perform a simple select * from statement and get a table to show. ### 1/5 — Money beast. *2017-08-28, version 9.4* Want .99 each time you compile statement. **Developer response:** You can buy unlimited compilations and use the application as much as you want! ### 1/5 — FAKE!! *2016-03-17, version 7.3* This is a fake app that doesn't do anything at all. I've waisted over $3 for nothing **Developer response:** That's simply not truth. The application allows to write, compile and run your own programs. And it works well for most of users! ### 4/5 — Editor with syntax highlight *2016-01-08, version 7.3* I use it only as text editor with syntax highlight.. Works great, wish it would have an ftp capabilities and user defined highlighting. If you set up gmail script, gdrive sync and phpadmin for your sql server, you can do your own compilations) ### 2/5 — Decent, but charges per compile *2015-02-10, version 6.5* Why make a free to try app then hide any important testing things behind IAP? At least start the user out with a couple. That's a terrible practice. Either make it a few dollars up front or give a tester something to work with. **Developer response:** You can try application before buy it. ### 2/5 — Might be good *2014-05-12* Judging from the GUI, it seems like an amazing learning tool but couldn't experience it as i have to pay real money every time i want to compile my code, like i cant tell how the app operates..... Seriously who does that lol i'll just use my laptop. Uninstall... **Developer response:** You can buy unlimited compilations and use the application as much as you want! ### 5/5 — Great App! *2014-05-03, version 4.3* I am writing a compiler that targets many languages and this app is ideal for my purposes. Keep up the good work! ### 1/5 — Not working *2014-04-25* I can't get this to work. **Developer response:** Please describe your problem in details or write to support. ### 3/5 — More option needed *2014-01-10, version 4.3* Can I insert my own data base? If so I will give 5 star ### 1/5 — Too Greedy *2013-09-17* Wants almost immediate payment after 1 compilation. Uninstall. **Developer response:** Just buy it and use as much as you want! ## Frequently asked questions about SQL Programming Language ### Does SQL Programming Language have ads?
