What does the “Structured” word means in SQL?
Is it because this(SQL) language statements are organized into Clauses, expressions and predicates?
Because of this organization, is it called “Structured” ?
The original full name was SEQUEL, which stood for "Structured English Query Language". It later had to be renamed to SQL due to trademark issues.
So basically, it was yet another attempt to sell a programming language as "just like English, except with a formal syntax" (hence "structured").
