Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The data manipulation language (DML) is used to interact and manipulate data within a database, allowing application programs to perform functions such as inserting, updating, and deleting data. It does not define the database structure (A), transfer data to a buffer area (B), or describe every data element in the database (D), which is the role of the data definition language (DDL).
