Data Definition Language (DDL)

Used by the DBA and database designers to specify the conceptual schema of a database.
• In many DBMSs, the DDL is also used to define internal and external schemas
(views).
• In some DBMSs, separate storage definition language (SDL) and view definition language (VDL) are used to define internal and external schemas.

• SDL is typically realized via DBMS commands provided to the DBA and database designers
