What is Trojan Virus?

A Trojan horse or Trojan is a type of malware that is often disguised as legitimate software.

Trojans can be employed by cyber-thieves and hackers trying to gain access to users' systems.

Users are typically tricked by some form of social engineering into loading and executing Trojans on their systems.

Once activated, Trojans can enable cyber-criminals to spy on you, steal your sensitive data, and gain backdoor access to your system

These actions can include:

Deleting data,
Blocking data,
Modifying data,
Copying data..

Disrupting the performance of computers or computer networks
Unlike computer viruses and worms, Trojans are not able to self-replicate.

What is SQL ?

SQL (Structured Query Language) is a standardized programming language used for managing relational databases and performing various operations on the data in them. Initially created in the 1970s, SQL is regularly used by database administrators, as well as by developers writing data integration scripts and data analysts looking to set up and run analytical queries. The uses of SQL include modifying database table and index structures; adding, updating and deleting rows of data; and retrieving subsets of information from within a database for transaction processing and analytics applications.  Queries and other SQL operations take the form of commands written as statements -- commonly used SQL statements include select, add, insert, update, delete, create, alter and truncate. _________________________
