What's this SQL stuff, anyway?

Structured Query Language.

Y'know.

SELECT * FROM foo;

UPDATE foo SET bar = baz WHERE quux = 1;

DELETE FROM foo WHERE baz = baz;

CREATE TABLE winnie ( ille char(1), pu char(2) );

That stuff.

(The DBI doesn't care what flavour of SQL you pass your database; it's not that high level. SQL92, SQL99, SQL-flavour-of-the-month, it's all the same to it.)
