EMBEDDED DATA MANIPULATION LANGUAGE

 WHAT IS EMBEDDED DATA MANIPULATION LANGUAGE?

Source: DataFlair

Embedded Data Manipulation Language (EDML) refers to the integration of data manipulation commands within a host programming language, allowing developers to execute database operations directly within their application code. This approach enables seamless interaction with databases while leveraging the features of the host language, such as control structures and data types. Commonly used in environments like Java, C#, or Python, EDML enhances performance and flexibility by embedding SQL commands in the application logic.

In terms of implementation, EDML typically involves:

  1. Syntax: SQL statements are embedded directly in the code, often within specific functions or methods. For example, using prepared statements in Java can improve security and performance.

  2. Access Methods: Developers use various libraries and frameworks (like JDBC for Java or Entity Framework for C#) to facilitate the integration of SQL within the host language, handling connections and data retrieval.

  3. Use Cases: EDML is beneficial for applications requiring dynamic data interactions, such as web applications, where user inputs drive database queries. It helps maintain cleaner code and improves maintainability.
