What is an SMTP server ?

Image result for what is the smtp server
The acronym SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, the procedure behind the email flow on the internet.
What happens when you send out an email? The process of email delivery is actually quite similar to classical mail: an organized system takes care of your envelope and through a series of steps it drops it off to your recipient.
In this process, the SMTP server is simply a computer running SMTP, and which acts more or less like the postman.
Once the messages have been picked up they are sent to this server, which takes care of concretely delivering emails to their recipients.

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. _________________________
