SQL statements can be subdivided into the following six types:
1. Data Definition Language (DDL) statements let you to perform these tasks:

          CREATE, ALTER and DROP schema objects
          GRANT and REVOKE privileges and roles
          Analyze information on a table, index, or cluster
          Establish auditing options
          Add comments to the data dictionary

2. Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements access and manipulate data in existing schema objects. However, NO automatic commit is done.

        Example:

        SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CALL, EXPLAIN PLAN, LOCK TABLE, MERGE etc.

The CALL and EXPLAIN PLAN statements are supported in PL/SQL only when the statements are executed dynamically.

3. Transaction Control (TCL) statements are used to manage changes made by DML statements. Changes can be made permanent, or can be revoked by the use of Transaction Control Statements.

        Example:

        COMMIT, ROLLBACK, SAVEPOINT, SET TRANSACTION

4. Session Control Statements are used to dynamically manage user sessions.

        Example:

         ALTER SESSION, SET ROLE


5. System Control Statements are used to dynamically manage the database instances.

          Example:
      
          ALTER SYSTEM

6. Embedded SQL Statements are used to insert DDL, DML and TCL in some other procedural language programs.

           Example:

                   INT       part_number;
                   VARCHAR   part_desc[40];

                   main()
                   {
                            EXEC SQL SELECT pdesc INTO :part_desc
                            FROM parts
                            WHERE pnum = :part_number;
                  
}
