Do DELETE, INSERT and UPDATE count as queries?

The DELETE, INSERT and UPDATE statements are covered under the "Queries" section, but the SELECT statement is referred to as "the query". Do DELETE, INSERT and UPDATE count as queries? (If not, maybe they should be moved out of the section named "Queries".) makeswell (talk) 18:43, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, DELETE, INSERT and UPDATE are statements, not queries.

ISO/IEC 9075-2:2016(E)

14.8 <delete statement: positioned>

14.9 <delete statement: searched>

14.11 <insert statement>

14.13 <update statement: positioned>

14.14 <update statement: searched>

Positioned means using a cursor, WHERE CURRENT OF cursorname

Searched means using a WHERE clause. (Or without a WHERE, but no cursor involved.) Fjerdingen (talk) 18:55, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Broken links after deletion of Where page

The "Where" page got deleted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Where (SQL) but the SQL Syntax page still links to it inside the "Operators" table, for example in the "IN" example. Jpgrassi (talk) 09:59, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
