Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements are used for managing data within schema objects.
数据操作语言,用于管理数据库对象的数据。
* SELECT - retrieve data from the a database
* INSERT - insert data into a table
* UPDATE - updates existing data within a table
* DELETE - deletes all records from a table, the space for the records remain
* MERGE - UPSERT operation (insert or update)

* LOCK TABLE - control concurrency
Data Control Language (DCL) statements.
数据控制语言
* GRANT - gives user's access privileges to database
* REVOKE - withdraw access privileges given with the GRANT command
Transaction Control (TCL) statements are used to manage the changes made by DML statements. It allows statements to be grouped together into logical transactions.
事务控制语言
* COMMIT - save work done
* SAVEPOINT - identify a point in a transaction to which you can later roll back
* ROLLBACK - restore database to original since the last COMMIT
