You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 11:06, 19 October 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

A '''data manipulation language''' ('''DML''') is a computer [[programming language]] used for adding (inserting), deleting, and modifying (updating) data in a [[database]]. A DML is often a [[sublanguage]] of a broader [[Database#Languages|database language]] such as [[SQL]], with the DML comprising some of the operators in the language.<ref>((cite book

))</ref> Read-only selecting of data is sometimes distinguished as being part of a separate [[data query language]] (DQL), but it is closely related and sometimes also considered a component of a DML; some operators may perform both selecting (reading) and writing.

A popular data manipulation language is that of [[Structured Query Language]] (SQL), which is used to retrieve and manipulate [[data]] in a [[relational database]].<ref name="SQL92" >[[#SQL92|SQL92]]</ref> Other forms of DML are those used by [[Information Management System|IMS]]/DLI, [[CODASYL]] databases, such as [[IDMS]] and others.

==SQL==
In SQL, the data manipulation language comprises the ''SQL-data change'' statements,<ref name="SQL92, statements by function" /> which modify stored data but not the [[database schema|schema]] or database objects. Manipulation of persistent database objects, e.g., tables or [[stored procedure]]s, via the SQL schema statements,<ref name="SQL92, statements by function" >[[#SQL92|SQL92]] 4.22.2, SQL statements classified by function</ref> rather than the data stored within them, is considered to be part of a separate [[data definition language]] (DDL). In SQL these two categories are similar in their detailed syntax, data types, expressions etc., but distinct in their overall function.<ref name="SQL92, statements by function" /> 

The ''SQL-data change'' statements are a subset of the ''SQL-data'' statements; this also contains the [[Select (SQL)|SELECT]] query statement,<ref name="SQL92, statements by function" /> which strictly speaking is part of the DQL, not the DML. In common practice though, this distinction is not made and ''SELECT'' is widely considered to be part of DML,<ref name="Oracle, DML">((cite web
  |title=Data Manipulation Language Statements
  |url=http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/sqlplsql.htm#i18503
  |publisher=[[Oracle Database|Oracle]]
  |quote=Data manipulation language (DML) statements ''query or manipulate'' data in existing schema objects.
))</ref> so the DML consists of all ''SQL-data'' statements, not only the ''SQL-data change'' statements. The <code>[[Select (SQL)|SELECT ... INTO ...]]</code> form combines both selection and manipulation, and thus is strictly considered to be DML because it manipulates (i.e. modifies) data.

Data manipulation languages have their functional capability organized by the initial word in a statement, which is almost always a [[verb]].  In the case of SQL, these verbs are:

* <code>[[Select (SQL)|SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ...]]</code> (strictly speaking DQL)
** <code>[[Select (SQL)|SELECT ... INTO ...]]</code>
* <code>[[Insert (SQL)|INSERT INTO ... VALUES ...]]</code>
* <code>[[Update (SQL)|UPDATE ... SET ... WHERE ...]]</code>
* <code>[[Delete (SQL)|DELETE FROM ... WHERE ...]]</code>

For example, the command to insert a row into table '''employees''':
<syntaxhighlight lang="sql">
INSERT INTO employees (first_name, last_name, fname) VALUES ('John', 'Capita', 'xcapit00');
</syntaxhighlight>

==Variants==
Most SQL database implementations extend their SQL capabilities by providing [[Imperative programming|imperative]], i.e. procedural languages.  Examples of these are [[Oracle Database|Oracle]]'s [[PL/SQL]] and [[IBM Db2]]'s [[SQL_PL]].  

Data manipulation languages tend to have many different flavors and capabilities between database vendors. There have been a number of standards established for SQL by [[ANSI]],<ref name="SQL92" /> but vendors still provide their own extensions to the standard while not implementing the entire standard.

Data manipulation languages are divided into two types, [[procedural programming]] and [[declarative programming]].

Data manipulation languages were initially only used within [[computer program]]s, but with the advent of SQL have come to be used interactively by database administrators.
