Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A query language allows a user to specify what information they want to retrieve or manipulate, but does not require them to specify how the task will be accomplished. Procedural languages, on the other hand, explicitly define the steps needed to accomplish a task. Query by example languages use a sample input to generate a query, but still require the user to specify the task they want to accomplish. Imperative languages are a type of procedural language that defines a series of steps to be executed in order to accomplish a task.
