How verification works →

SQL is a declarative language for defining, querying, and modifying relational data.

supported

A SQL engine parses a statement, resolves names and types, rewrites where needed, builds candidate plans, estimates costs using statistics, executes the selected plan, and returns or modifies rows under transaction rules.

supported

EXPLAIN output shows chosen plans, while indexes and statistics can change those plans without changing query meaning.
