What type of programming language is typically used to create databases?

  1. Java

  2. Python

  3. C++

  4. SQL

The correct answer is: SQL

Database creation requires a language that is specialized for handling and managing large amounts of data in a structured format. Java, Python, and C++ are all general-purpose programming languages that do not have built-in features or libraries for database management. SQL, on the other hand, is a specialized programming language designed specifically for interacting with and manipulating relational databases. It allows users to easily create, modify, and retrieve data, making it the most commonly used language for database creation and management. This type of specific use is why SQL is the correct answer for this question.
