What is a SQL File Type?

It is unlikely that you will encounter SQL files unless you develop or manage web databases. The SQL language first appeared at IBM in the 1970s and was adopted by the ISO and ANSI standards groups in 1986 as the standard language for relational database management systems. Since its adoption, it has been revised to support more features and has generated several variants of database language, including Mini SQL (mSQL) and MySQL.
