A lekérdeznyelvvel, or query language, is a specialized computer language used to retrieve information from databases. These languages are designed to allow users to specify what data they want to extract, filter, and manipulate. The most well-known example of a query language is SQL (Structured Query Language), which is used with relational databases.

Query languages typically consist of commands that describe the desired data. For instance, in SQL, a common command is SELECT, which is used to specify the columns to retrieve. Other clauses like WHERE are used to filter the data based on certain conditions, and ORDER BY is used to sort the results. The syntax of these languages is structured and often resembles a natural language, making it relatively accessible for users who understand the underlying data structure.

Beyond SQL, other types of query languages exist for different database paradigms. For example, NoSQL databases, which do not follow the traditional relational model, often have their own unique query languages or APIs. These can range from document-based queries to graph traversal languages. Regardless of the specific type, the fundamental purpose of a query language remains the same: to provide a standardized and efficient way to interact with and extract data from a database system. The ability to effectively use a query language is a crucial skill for anyone working with data.
