Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The specialized language that programmers use to add and change data in the database is called a data manipulation language (DML). DML is used to insert, update, delete, and retrieve data from a database. SQL (Structured Query Language) is the most commonly used DML, but other examples include Oracle's PL/SQL and IBM's SQL/PL. While A) data access language, C) structured query language, and D) data definition language are also related to database manipulation, they are not the specific language used for adding and changing data.
