In relational database theory, the term sublanguage, first used for this purpose by E. F. Codd in 1970, refers to a computer language used to define or manipulate the structure and contents of a relational database management system (RDBMS).

Structured query language means the language which is used to define, manipulate and retrieve the data. All can be done by sql. Thats why we are calling it as query language.

SQL is a special-purpose programming language designed for managing data held in a relational database management system. But, how is it a sub language?

Nobody seems to know the reason for SQL being a sub-language.

A data Sublanguage is a computer language used to define or manipulate the structure of a relational database management system (DBMS) e.g QBE, SQL.

Here, SQL commands can be divided into two main sublanguages DDL & DML.
