SQL
Definition.
SQL: Structured Query Language, a domain-specific language used in programming and designed for managing data held in a relational database management system.
In Practice
Even on Django projects where the ORM handles most queries, I still write and review the raw SQL for anything performance-sensitive — an ORM can hide an accidentally expensive query until it's running slowly in production.
