N2  - "The explosive growth of the information technology industry and the constantly growing need to compile, store, access, and manipulate increasingly larger masses of data have required the development of ever more sophisticated database management tools. Since its first incarnation in the 1970s, Structured Query Language (SQL) had been developed hand in hand with the information boom, and as a result, is the most widely used database manipulation language in business and industry. A number of different software companies and program developers, including those in the open source movement, have concurrently developed their own SQL,  dialects in response to specific needs. All the while, standards bodies have developed a growing list of common features." —Preface
