At the heart of a dynamic application is a database. The acronym CRUD refers to all of the major functions that are implemented in relational database applications - create, read, update and delete.
CRUD for Database Applications
The acronym CRUD refers to all of the major functions that are implemented in relational database applications. Each letter in the acronym can map to a standard SQL statement:
Operation | SQL |
---|---|
Create | INSERT |
Read | SELECT |
Update | UPDATE |
Delete | DELETE |
Although a relational database provides a common persistence layer in software applications, numerous other persistence layers exist. CRUD functionality can be implemented with an object database, an XML database, flat text files, custom file formats, tape, or card, for example.
