'''Data Access Language for the Macintosh''', or simply '''DAL''', was a [[SQL]]-like language and [[application programming interface]] released by [[Apple Computer]] in 1990 to provide unified [[client/server]] access to [[database management system]]s. It was known for poor performance and high costs, something Apple did little to address over its short lifetime, before it was sold off in 1994. DAL is used as the native SQL dialect of the [[PrimeBase]] SQL server, as well as the now-defunct [[Butler SQL]].
