Which is the subset of SQL commands used to manipulate Oracle Database structures, including tables?

A. Data Definition Language(DDL)

B. Data Manipulation Language(DML)

C. Both of above

D. None

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Data Definition Language, represented by DDL, is the subset of SQL commands used to manipulate Oracle Database structures, including tables. DDL commands are responsible for defining, modifying, and deleting the structure of a database, such as creating and altering tables, defining constraints, and managing indexes. They do not deal with the actual data within the tables, which is the primary function of Data Manipulation Language (DML) commands. So, Option A is the correct answer.

CREATE, ALTER, RENAME, DROP and TRUNCATE statements are the names of few data definition elements.

DML is short name of Data Manipulation Language which deals with data manipulation and includes most common SQL statements such SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE etc, and it is used to store, modify, retrieve, delete and update data in a database not manipulate database structure.

But it is database structure manipulation, means schema, database properties, table properties etc... option "A" is correct

For data manipulation, it should be DML. DDL is for the definition of data. The answer should be DML.

Yes your discussion is right but for manipulation we need DML......not DDL
