{{short description|Computer programming method}}
'''Embedded SQL''' is a method of combining the [[computing]] power of a [[programming language]] and the [[database]] [[Data Manipulation Language|manipulation]] capabilities of [[SQL]]. Embedded SQL [[statement (programming)|statements]] are SQL statements written inline with the program [[source code]], of the host language. The embedded SQL statements are [[parsing|parsed]] by an embedded SQL [[preprocessor]] and replaced by host-language [[call site|calls]] to a code [[library (computing)|library]]. The output from the preprocessor is then compiled by the host [[compiler]]. This allows programmers to embed SQL statements in programs written in any number of languages such as [[:Category:C programming language family|C/C++]], [[COBOL]] and [[Fortran]]. This differs from SQL-derived programming languages that don't go through discrete preprocessors, such as [[PL/SQL]] and [[Transact-SQL|T-SQL]].

</ref> The SQL standard defines embedding of SQL as ''embedded SQL'' and the language in which SQL queries are embedded is referred to as the ''host language''. A popular host language is C.
SQL may also be embedded in languages like PHP etc.
The SQL standard [[SQL:2023]] is available through purchase and contains chapter '''21 Embedded SQL''' and its syntax rules.<ref>{{cite web
