Structured Query Language (SQL) is a programming language designed for managing relational databases. It is commonly used for tasks such as retrieving, inserting, updating, and deleting data, as well as creating and modifying database structures. SQL is highly valuable because it enables efficient management, analysis, and reporting of financial data. In a sector where cost control, billing accuracy, and regulatory compliance are essential, SQL helps professionals extract actionable insights from large volumes of healthcare data.
