Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The data definition language (DDL) is responsible for defining and describing the structure of the database, including the names and relationships of data elements, records, and files. It does not insert commands into application programs or permit users to process data without conventional programs. While it does describe all data elements in the database, this is only one aspect of its broader purpose.
