WHAT IS DATABASE PROGRAMMING?
Database programming means writing instructions or code to create, store, manage,
and retrieve data from a database. It mainly uses SQL (Structured Query Language)
and can also work with programming languages like Java, Python, PHP, and .NET.
A database stores data in an organized way — usually in tables with rows and columns.
For example, a student table may contain: Roll Number, Name, Class, and Marks.
